Summer Internship Program

The Reproductive Rights Activist Service Corps is a paid summer internship program that places undergraduate students from seven Western Massachusetts colleges at reproductive rights and social justice organizations for ten week internships.

The RRASC program defines reproductive justice broadly to include human rights, economic justice, racial equality, queer rights, immigrants' rights, access to health services, and youth empowerment.

RRASC internships are substantive in nature. Interns participate in organizing, advocacy, direct service, education, technical support, and research at a wide range of non-profit organizations throughout the country and internationally.
