The Koch Internship Program (KIP) is a paid, 10-week experiential learning program run by Stand Together Fellowships that offers meaningful work experience at non-profits all over the country tackling some of our nation’s most pressing challenges. Throughout your internship with a partner organization, Stand Together Fellowships hosts virtual professional development sessions every Thursday from 1-5 pm ET, wherein you will be mentored by seasoned professionals as you craft a capstone project on the topic that matters most to you. Interns will receive either a $5,500 or $3,300 stipend from Stand Together Fellowships depending on whether they are participating full-time (40 hours/week) or part-time (28 hours/week).
We are looking for an ambitious young intern seeking experience in developing, creating, and distributing social media content and campaigns. This internship will give you a chance to stretch your creative muscles and use high-end equipment and software to bring your ideas to life.
The Internship involves utilizing social media to distribute the various articles and research produced by Independence Institute staff. Within this task, you
will be given ample creative leeway to express the work of our staff in a way that you think will grab the attention of audiences.
Alongside our Creative Labs staff, you will be engaging in numerous brainstorming sessions. We will encourage you to put forth, and accept constructive criticism on, your own content ideas. This experience in the collaborative creative process will be invaluable to you in your future creative endeavors.
You will also be asked to develop a series of informational social media posts on a topic of particular importance to Colorado politics. This project will help focus your creativity to engage and inform an audience on a particular subject. With the help of our Creative Labs team, you will incorporate multiple media formats including video, animation, graphic design, etc.
Overall, this internship provides you the experience of spreading a client’s message and body of work and using your own creativity. This is a skill that is of great value to any that wishes to impact culture in a meaningful way, and it’s a skill that is sorely lacking among the liberty-minded community.
