How to Apply for KIP Spring 2027 - FEE in the Classroom North America Intern - Foundation for Economic Education

at Standtogether

🏢 About Standtogether

The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), now part of the Stand Together network, is a nearly 80-year-old nonprofit dedicated to teaching the economic, ethical, and legal principles of a free society. Unlike typical think tanks, FEE focuses on grassroots student engagement, running programs in nearly all 50 states and expanding into Latin America. Working here means directly shaping the next generation's understanding of personal freedom, entrepreneurship, and sound economics.

About This Role

As the FEE in the Classroom North America Intern, you'll support the Student Engagement team's outreach division by researching, identifying, and analyzing potential school and educator partners across North America. Your work will directly fuel FEE's mission to bring free-market ideas into classrooms, helping to schedule events, build relationships, and track engagement metrics. This is a remote, full-time internship for Spring 2027, ideal for someone passionate about liberty and education.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve researching potential school partners in a specific state, drafting outreach emails to educators, updating the CRM with contact details, and attending a virtual team meeting to discuss outreach strategy. You might also analyze data from past events to identify which regions have the highest potential for new programs. Expect a mix of independent research and collaborative planning with the Student Engagement team.

  • Failing to demonstrate any experience or interest in outreach or relationship-building. This role is highly interactive, even if remote.
