Overview

The Koch Internship Program combines individualized education with hands-on work experience to empower social entrepreneurs to drive their own careers and make a positive contribution right away.

Details

While in the ten-week program, interns benefit from a hybrid education/work experience: they engage in Stand Together Fellowships professional development programming virtually each Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET with their peers and spend the rest of the week gaining valuable professional experience at one of our many partner organizations. Full-time participants receive a $4,500 stipend while part-time participants receive a $2,700 stipend (attending Wednesday programming is required for both part-time and full-time participants). The training provided by Stand Together Fellowships focuses on three pillars:

  • Learning ST Fellowship’s vision for social change and connecting with our network of collaborators
  • Discovering and developing your unique aptitudes and strengths
  • Learning the guiding principles of Market-Based Management™

Each intern is mentored by a seasoned professional and works on a capstone project on what matters most to them.

How long is the Koch Internship Program, and how many times a year is it offered? 

The Koch Internship Program is a 10-week, semester-long program, offered three times a year: Spring, Summer, and Fall.

How do I secure an internship position at a partner organization?

Our selection process includes two stages. In the first stage candidates interview with the Stand Together Fellowships Selection Team. If successful, candidates are advanced to the finalist stage, where they gain access to the KIP job portal. In the job portal candidates apply for the open roles that interest them and interview with partner organizations. Once a candidate receives and accepts an offer from a partner organization, they are officially accepted into the program.

What if I already work for a partner organization?

If you currently work for an organization participating in the Koch Internship Program, you still must apply. If accepted into a program, we will work with your employer to determine if your role is eligible.

Can I apply for the Koch Internship Program if I do not have placement at a partner organization?

Absolutely! Many of our applicants do not enter the selection process with placement. We welcome and encourage all those interested in our educational programs to apply. You will have an opportunity to explore the open roles on our job portal and secure placement if moved to the finalist stage.

What days will I work at the partner organization?

Typically you will work at the partner organization on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday during normal business hours. The specific time commitments necessary for each role will be determined by your partner organization.

When is programming?

Programming is on Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during the duration of your participation. Attending Wednesday programming is required for part-time interns and full-time interns.
