One of the most exciting parts of interning at the Women's Center is the opportunity to develop a Gender Action Project (GAP). The goal of the GAP is to support interns in their leadership development by providing the tools necessary for them to implement a program or project that represents their unique passion, experience, background, and perspective.
GAPs provide interns a space to self reflect and express themselves while also learning how to develop an idea or concept into a realized form. Each intern is given seed funding from the Women's Center to complete their project as well as extensive staff support and access to a variety of other Women's Center and campus resources.
Here are some of the intern's G.A.P.'s that you can help with:
