The Koch Internship Program (KIP) is a paid, 10‑week experiential learning opportunity offered by Stand Together Fellowships, providing meaningful work experience with nonprofit organizations across the country that are addressing some of the nation’s most significant challenges. While interning with a partner organization, you will also participate in virtual professional development sessions every Thursday from 1–5 p.m. ET, where experienced professionals will mentor you as you develop a capstone project on a topic of your choice. Interns receive a stipend of either $5,500 for full-time participation (40 hours per week) or $3,300 for part-time participation (28 hours per week).

Applicants who advance in the process will interview with both the nonprofit partner organizations and Stand Together Fellowships staff, so early applications are encouraged.
