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).
About us
The Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies (DFI) seeks an intern to help us defend liberty and opportunity in America’s schools and workplaces. This position will work closely with the entire DFI team and will report to DFI's Policy Counsel.
DFI envisions a republic where freedom and innovation flourish in our nation’s schools and workplaces, so that all Americans have equal opportunities to learn and work, liberated from undue regulatory burdens, bureaucracy, and discriminatory practices.
We strongly believe in the visionary principles articulated in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the great civil rights legislation of the twentieth century—that all persons are born free and created equal with inalienable rights; that the limited purpose of government is to secure those rights; that this nation's Constitution and laws are color-blind; and that all persons should have the freedom to choose the education, work, and life that is best for them.
We fight for the public good by supporting limits on the power of federal agencies, bureaucrats, and government sector unions; expanding opportunities for students, workers, families, and communities; and standing up for the civil and constitutional rights of all Americans at school and at work. DFI concentrates on education, workforce preparedness, employment, and labor policy and the legal issues within these policy areas.
Stand Together Fellowships believes that diversity in experiences, perspectives, knowledge and ideas fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success. Our admissions office treats all program participants and applicants with honesty, dignity, respect and sensitivity. We welcome all qualified applicants regardless of color, race, religion, religious creed, sex, gender or gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, ethnicity, ancestry, age, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, pregnancy (including medical needs which may arise from pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), military and veteran status, genetic information, marital or familial status, political affiliation, or any other legally recognized protected basis under federal, state or local laws, regulations or ordinances.
