The GLAAD Media Fellowship was created to develop new leadership in the movement for LGBT equality and provide a unique opportunity to build experience in media activism by working nearly full time in GLAAD offices and being supervised and mentored by GLAAD’s staff in Programs and Communication. GLAAD Media Fellows have worked in our National News Media Program, People of Color Media Program for Asian Pacific Islander Communities, and Public Relations.

2008 GLAAD Fellowships run from January 7, 2008 through December 31, 2008. GLAAD Media Fellows are paid a monthly stipend of $1600.  GLAAD Media Fellows are responsible for their own housing and living expenses.

Applicants must be enrolled in a degree program at least half-time as a graduate or undergraduate student, or have successfully completed a graduate or undergraduate degree within the 12 months preceding the application deadline. To apply please email resume and cover letter to volunteers@glaad.org or fax to (323) 933-2241 by December 20, 2007 for consideration.
