American Women’s History Initiative

Paid 2024 Because of Her Story Cohort Internship Program

June 10–August 2, 2024



Application open January 8—February 7, 2024

* The application will close when the system receives 400 applicants or

5pm ET on February 7, 2024, whichever comes first. *



Be a part of a transformational experience and contribute to a national effort to share a diversity of women's voices from the past and present through the Because of Her Story (BOHS) Cohort Internship Program. Interns will amplify women’s stories to tell a more complete American history, reach a diverse audience, and empower and inspire people from all walks of life.



As part of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum (SAWHM), the Smithsonian will host a cohort of  up to 14 BOHS interns in Washington, D.C. Through a variety of experiential learning opportunities, including a hands-on internship with a designated Smithsonian unit, BOHS interns will gain a deeper understanding about museum and educational best practices, and will help further the work of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum.



“The program was professional, personal, and academic development. I met mentors and future professional contacts. I made some great friends. All the while, I was learning from the stories of many diverse women, both historically and contemporarily. I dove headfirst into the world of museums, archives, and libraries. I discovered so much more than I thought was possible.”   ̴2021 BOHS Alumni



Who Is Eligible to Apply?
