Koch Foundation Programs for Undergrads and Recent Alums

The Charles G. Koch Foundation's mission is "to advance social progress and well-being through the development, application and dissemination of the Science of Liberty". To that end, they have two interesting opportunities, one for undergraduates and one for more recent alums:

Koch Internship, Washington DC
"The project assignments cover fascinating areas including policy research, leadership and talent development, grassroots education, marketing, and network development. This hands-on experience gives interns the chance to explore the non-profit sector while applying the management philosophy they are learning from the Foundation, and allows them to build a network of like-minded friends and associates.

Spring and fall Internships are part-time and flexible, but interns must be available at least 20 hours each week between the hours of 8:30am and 5:30pm, Monday - Friday. Summer Interns are also part-time, but interns work regular schedules, 8:30am-5:30pm, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Spring and fall Interns are paid an hourly rate of $12.00. Summer Interns are paid an hourly rate of $13.00. Metro assistance is available only for summer Interns. Unfortunately, housing is not provided.

Koch Associate Program, June-May Washington DC
The program offers 30-50 promising leaders and entrepreneurs the opportunity to work on significant assignments within non-profit organizations while simultaneously learning and applying Market Based Management®. During the year-long program, Associates are based in Washington, D.C., and spend four days each week at non-profit organizations working in full-time positions and one day each week at the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation immersed in a Market Based Management® curriculum."
For the Associate Program, they want zero to ten years of work experience, a Bachelor's degree, and an interest in the non-profit sector--sounds like a lot of our alums.
