Please note: Free the Facts runs four leadership programs: the Ambassador, Intern, Scholar, and Fellow Programs.

If you are interested in an  FtF internship, we highly recommend that you consider applying for the Ambassador Program.

Summer 2021 Program Details

Free the Facts’ summer leadership programs will begin on June 9th and end on August 6th, 2021. 

In light of ongoing concerns about COVID-19, interns will work remotely, completing projects at the direction of FtF staff members. Interns will receive a competitive stipend of $850 a month and are expected to work up to 20 hours a week.

During their tenure, interns have access to our professional network and exclusive programs and events that are only available to individuals participating in FtF’s leadership programs.
