Mission

Queer Joy Collective's work centers on community-based resilience building through positive expression. Rather than dismantling our oppression through reactionary methods, our organization combats discrimination through transformative actions which lead to greater social change. Within a broader network of organizations dedicated to queer liberation, QJC serves as the emotional undercurrent propelling these efforts. Our programs include our Letter Club, Joy Archive, Internship Program, Art Contests, and more.

Internship Overview:

Our internship program will run for four months, starting in the beginning of February and concluding in the end of May. During this period, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with the founders, gain valuable experience, and contribute to our mission of spreading Queer Joy.
