The Koch Internship Program (KIP) is a paid, 12-week experiential learning program run by Stand Together Fellowships that offers meaningful work experience at non-profits all over the United States tackling some of our nation's most pressing challenges. Eligible candidates will be geographically located within the U.S. and authorized to work in the U.S. through the duration of the program.
Throughout your internship, you will gain meaningful professional experience at a partner organization and participate in professional development built around a 2-day, in-person summit hosted by Stand Together Fellowships at Stand Together's Headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, supported by virtual programming that takes place every other Thursday between 1- 3:30 pm ET. Interns will receive either a $7,500 or $5,500 stipend from Stand Together Fellowships depending on whether they are participating full-time (40 hours/week) or part-time (24 hours/week).
The programming provided by Stand Together Fellowships focuses on three objectives:
1. understanding the foundational principles of a free society such as individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and the rule of law;
2. learning the Stand Together community's vision for change and how a principled approach to problem solving can help address society's biggest challenges; and
3. presenting opportunities and pathways to build a career that advances liberty and free society.
Successful candidates will interview with both our non-profit partner organizations and Stand Together Fellowships staff, so we strongly encourage you to apply in advance!
Please note that all Koch Internship Program interns MUST be available every other Thursday (Jan. 22, Feb. 12, Feb. 26, March 12, March 26, and April 9) from 1-3:30 PM ET for virtual professional development training AND the in-person summit at Stand Together's Headquarters in Arlington, VA Feb. 6-Feb. 7.
About National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation
The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation provides legal services to protect workers from the abuses of compulsory unionism. Since 1968, Foundation attorneys have been at the forefront of litigating key cases involving the First Amendment, labor law, administrative law, and religious liberties, including nearly every major Supreme Court case on compulsory unionism.
The Foundation is hiring for its spring 2026 law clerk position. Law clerks work directly with Foundation staff attorneys to assist them with legal research and drafting legal documents for cases. While advocating for individual worker rights, law clerks gain firsthand experience with labor law and learn about practicing before federal and state courts and administrative agencies such as the National Labor Relations Board and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The clerkship only is available to law students. The role is offered on both a fulltime and part-time basis. While the Foundation prefers that individuals work at its office in the Washington D.C. metro area, applications for remote work will be considered.
This role is open to part-time and full-time candidates and prefers onsite in the Springfield, VA office.
$5,500 - $7,500 a year
