Affinity—a social-justice organization whose core constituents are Black lesbian, bisexual and transgender women and LGBTQ youth of African descent—announced that it has exceeded its $40,000 goal for the spring appeal, which ended July 31.
Affinity has raised $45,476.49, which includes the $15,000 matching grant awarded by the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice.
On a related front, the organization is seeking an intern to work on its Immigration Initiative. Among other things, the intern will attend board meetings and events, as needed; track campaigns; and conduct research, as needed, for inclusion in proposals.
The part-time position pays $10 an hour for 20-24 hours weekly for 12 months.
Email a resume, cover letter and three references, with contact information, to Executive Director Kim L. Hunt at executivedirector@affinity95.org. Put “Immigration Project Intern” in the subject line. The deadline for receipt of application materials is Aug. 19.
