Because of Her Story Cohort Internship Program

As part of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative (AWHI), the Smithsonian will host a cohort of up to 15 Because of Her Story (BOHS) undergraduate or recently graduated interns June 12--August 4, 2023. Through a variety of experiential learning opportunities, including a hands-on internship at a designated Smithsonian unit, and a curriculum of structured cohort activities, BOHS interns will develop familiarity and experience with museums and research units and American women’s history. This will allow interns to gain a deeper understanding about museum and educational best practices, job skills for working in a museum or research center, and increase their knowledge and experience regarding interdisciplinary women’s history. Through activities such as developing educational and outreach programs, creating a social media campaign, or conducting research, the interns will help further the work of the American Women’s History Initiative. Interns will amplify women’s voices to tell a more complete American story, reach a diverse audience, and empower and inspire people from all walks of life.
