During 2014, approximately 350 people completed one of the programs and there are currently more than 2,500 alumni.

KOCH INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Want to build your résumé while advancing free societies and promoting well-being? The Koch Internship Program is an opportunity not only to work for a think tank or public policy organization in the Washington, DC area, but also to receive valuable professional education and paid, hands-on experience. Designed for individuals who are passionate about promoting societal well-being through advancing free societies, the program offers a chance to develop your knowledge and skills, all while building a valuable professional network and an understanding of non-profit career paths.

This educational program offers the opportunity for one of the highest paid internships among similar liberty-advancing non-profit organizations. Interns receive a stipend of up to $4,500 (10 week summer program), or $6,300 (14 week spring program).

As an intern in DC, you’ll work at a non-profit partner organization and spend one day a week with the Charles Koch Institute engaging in reading discussions, group projects, lectures, and Market-Based Management® workshops. As an intern at a state-based organization, you will further develop your skills and expand your network while connecting with the Charles Koch Institute every Thursday for web-based lectures, reading discussions, and programming. Internship roles vary, and include policy research, communications, operations, donor relations, and more.
