KIP Summer 2025 - Intern - The Federalist Society

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).

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!

Federalist Society interns assist staff as researchers, editors, and proofreaders. Interns get to work on the National Lawyers Convention, Practice Groups, State Courts Project, Article I Project, Regulatory Transparency Project, Brand Innovation, Development, Digital Division, Faculty Division & Student Division programming, and attend various events. Administrative and clerical work is kept to a minimum, and interns will focus more on substantive work.

Federalist Society internships are for undergraduates, graduate students, or law students who have a strong commitment to the belief that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.

Stand Together Fellowships believes that diversity in experiences, perspectives, knowledge and ideas fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success.
