Let’s Work Together.
Diverso Alumni Mixer at Blumhouse Headquarters, Los Angeles, 2025.
Thank you for taking the time to apply for a position at Diverso. We appreciate your interest in joining our 2026-27 Team.
We are a student-run 501(c)3 that helps statistically overlooked students break into the entertainment industry. Our past and current partners include the Lin-Manuel Miranda Family Fund, United Talent Agency, and WarnerMedia. Some of our panelists and mentors include Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), Chloe Zhao (Nomadland, Hamnet), and The Daniels (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
Though we are a student-run organization, we operate more like a professional nonprofit than a "student club." We're looking for sharp, growth-minded individuals interested in working alongside the next generation of entertainment creatives and professionals. By curating programming throughout the year, team members will receive invaluable experience across development, producing, management, and more.
All opportunities are remote and unpaid, and range from 6-10 hours per week, with potential for a paid internship over the summer. Diverso is perfect for any student looking to break into Hollywood in a hands-on, meaningful way instead of doing years of script coverage and waiting their turn from industry gatekeepers. No prior experience is necessary, but an open mind, collaborative spirit, and love for film are a must.
To apply, you must be an undergraduate studentat a university or college. We highly encourage sophomores and juniors to apply for these roles, but exceptions can be made for stellar freshmen. Current seniors are ineligible to apply.
*This is not an internship but rather an opportunity to become a leader within a Non-Profit. Diverso is a unique opportunity to gain real world industry experience.
