at Standtogether

🏢 About Standtogether

The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), part of the Stand Together network, is a nonprofit with an 80-year legacy of advancing free-market principles and individual liberty. What makes FEE unique is its dual focus on educating students and educators through both domestic and international programs, including a growing presence in Latin America. Working here means contributing to a mission-driven organization that shapes the next generation of free society advocates.

About This Role

As a Programs Logistics Intern on FEE's Student Engagement team, you'll be the operational backbone for both in-person and virtual events that introduce students to economic freedom. Your work will directly enable high-impact experiences—from coordinating travel and materials for domestic seminars to supporting international workshops in Latin America. This role is ideal for someone who thrives behind the scenes but wants to see the tangible results of their logistical precision.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve coordinating travel arrangements for a speaker, updating event registration lists, and troubleshooting a virtual platform issue for an upcoming webinar. You'll also attend team meetings to align on timelines and may research venues or vendors for future seminars. Expect a mix of independent tasks and collaborative problem-solving, all aimed at ensuring smooth, impactful experiences for students and educators.
