The Jeanne Clery Internship is designed to support Barnard students who would like to participate in meaningful gender-based violence prevention work experiences and may not otherwise be able to do so without funding.

Being Barnard offers an empowering and holistic approach to defining and pursuing healthy relationships. This is a brave space that embraces sexual health and wellness, affirmative consent and boundaries, safe dating, violence prevention education, and more. We provide one-on-one confidential consultations, campus-wide campaigns, educational programming, community building, outreach, and advocacy.
Finding joy and connection in relationships is vitally important. We help students develop the skills and knowledge necessary for building and sustaining healthy relationships by addressing interwoven topics such as affirmative consent, personal boundaries, happiness, self-care, respect, bystander intervention, sexual violence education and prevention, social identities, power dynamics, and emotional intelligence. We also help students understand how sexual assault and interpersonal violence affect people of all genders, identities, and backgrounds, and we work to advance the project of reducing, and one day eliminating, sexual assault and violence on our campus and throughout society.
