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!

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 2025 summer 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 is at the Foundation’s office in Springfield, Virginia, which is in the Washington D.C. metro area. A remote clerkship is not available. Qualified candidates need to have completed 1L, 2L, or 3L year of law school.

To apply for a summer 2025 law clerk position, please submit a cover letter, resume, legal writing sample.
