Join us this summer in Washington from May 18 to August 11, 2023!

The Fellowship for American Statecraft is unlike any other program in Washington. American Moment organizes and pays accepted Fellows $3,000 per month for the summer and places them at an internship either on Capitol Hill or in the public policy non-profit sphere in Washington, DC. The stipend is designed to be livable and not require outside housing supplementation, and Fellows are placed with American Moment allies to develop on-the-job skills and key early career credentials.

The steepest hill to climb for any young person looking to get involved in politics or public policy is to get their first job—the first institution willing to credential them with their dollar and reputation in affiliation. We are not adherent to the morally bankrupt system that is American higher education, so we did not require college degrees, as well as prior political experience, for admission. The program’s generous funding is designed to make the Fellowship livable with no external income, so young people of all economic means are encouraged to apply. Learn more about the 2022 Class of Fellows here.

Additionally, one day per week, Fellows will join American Moment staff, allied organizations, and public policy leaders for seminars designed to supplement their on-the-job education and teach them the foundations of public policy across American Moment’s issue priorities. Moreover, networking activities and other exciting opportunities will be offered so that any Fellowship member has the opportunity to meet new like-minded peers and mentors.
