Out4STEM After-school Internship Program 2025-26

Posted by The College of Physicians of Philadelphia on August 5, 2025

The Out4STEM program is an after-school internship that aims to provide Philadelphia’s LGBTQIA+ youth and those interested in learning about these topics with healthcare and STEM-oriented instruction, mentorship, academic support, and college/career preparation in an inclusive, safe space.

The program offers Philadelphia high school students the opportunity to learn about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, as well as healthcare and medicine, and the career opportunities they provide. The program provides a space for cultivating relationships between like-minded, motivated Philadelphia students and professionals.

In addition to providing information about STEM fields and careers, the Out4STEM program fosters a deeper understanding of LGBTQIA+ history. It offers students opportunities to engage with scientists, educators, activists, medical practitioners, and historians who support the community. We will examine the experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals in relation to other aspects of their identity, from class to race or religion, and discussions will touch on other civil rights movements.
