InterseXtions: Gender & Sexuality

InterseXtions: Gender & Sexuality is a paid internship at the Brooklyn Museum for New York City teens who want to explore gender and sexuality through art. Interns study LGBTQ+ social movements and artists working today, and they meet museum educators, artists, and curators to look at the collection through a queer lens. The group reads and discusses topics such as feminism, sexuality, and social justice, and members make their own art in response. Interns also plan, organize, and promote a free, large-scale event for LGBTQ+ teens and allies. The 2026-2027 program runs from November 2026 to June 2027, with weekly Tuesday meetings from 4:30 to 6:30 pm plus occasional Friday and weekend events and field trips. Interns earn $17 per hour, and returning second-year members serve as program leaders at $18 per hour. Each intern can work up to 75 hours over the year, and the museum provides OMNY cards for weekend and evening work.

Open to all New York City teens. Participants must commit to the full November 2026 through June 2027 schedule. Applications are submitted online, and the deadline for the 2026-2027 program is October 18, 2026. Questions can be sent to the museum's teen programs team by email.
