Intern Spotlights

It’s important to us that we make space to uplift folks starting their journey to make a difference. Meet some of our fabulous interns who have been shaping our PRYSM Saturday program, aiding with off-site facilitation, manning the front desk, sorting through data, aiding in marketing assistance, and so much more!

“I've always been drawn to OUTMemphis's welcoming environment and resources, especially coming from an area where that wasn't available. To see how the community is supported by the peer groups, testing, and free meals OUTMemphis provides has been motivating and I'm so glad to be a part of their work. 

I've co-led our youth group, PRYSM, for three years now, and will be helping with marketing materials such as the PRYSM newsletter. I also assist with the food pantry and general community needs!”

“I chose to work with OUTMemphis because I wanted to make a positive impact on the queer community in Memphis. Growing up, I wish I had a safe, uplifting community space like OUTMemphis. I feel so proud to be a part of an organization that has amazing youth-focused programs like PRYSM and accessible testing and services!

I work as a PRYSM Coordinator, help with the food pantry, support data collection, and engage with community members.”
