  • Fellowships

Positive Women’s Network-USA welcomes the opportunity to partner with law students or other eligible individuals to develop a public interest fellowship such as an Equal Justice Works, Soros Justice, Justice Catalyst, or Lessow Reproductive Health Fellowship.

A fellowship with PWN allows you to use your legal and policy expertise to further our vision of a world where all women (cis and trans), transgender folks, and gender diverse people living with HIV can live long, healthy, dignified lives, free from stigma and discrimination. You will join the PWN policy team to craft and influence policies that dismantle carceral systems and build new, liberatory systems that advance reproductive justice, racial justice, and gender justice.

For more information about our policy priorities, please review the PWN Policy Agenda. For more information about our approach to ending carceral systems that harm people living with HIV, please review the Health Not Prisons Collective principles.

If you are interested in developing a fellowship proposal with PWN, please send a brief statement outlining your proposed project along with a resume to kelly@pwn–usa.org, with the subject line “Fellowship Proposal.” Please indicate the fellowship for which you are seeking sponsorship as well as its application deadline in your email.
  • Internships

PWN welcomes the opportunity to host a law student who is able to commit a minimum of 10 full-time weeks for a summer internship. We encourage students to apply who have identified a source of funding for non-profit legal summer internships.

As a network led by and for cis and trans women, transgender, and gender diverse people living with HIV, PWN provides interns with the opportunity to work on a diverse array of projects impacting our members. We give legal interns significant responsibilities on substantive projects in the areas of health law, criminalization, surveillance, reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, and immigrant justice. Assignments will likely include legal research and writing; preparing policy memoranda or proposed legislation; or regulatory advocacy. Other projects will be assigned as they arise.

The applicant must be a law student with excellent analytical and writing skills and the ability to engage in thoughtful and thorough research independently. A commitment to racial justice, Black liberation, gender justice, trans liberation, and economic justice, as well as to PWN’s mission, vision, and values is strongly preferred. Experience in working with directly impacted communities — particularly people living with HIV, LGBTQIA+ people, women, and Black and brown people — is strongly preferred.

To apply for an internship, please send a cover letter, resume, and writing sample to Kelly@pwn-usa.org with the subject heading “Legal Internship Application.”
