About the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE):

The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the economic, ethical, and legal principles of a free society. For over 75 years, FEE has been committed to inspiring and educating individuals on the values of personal freedom, entrepreneurship, and sound economic thinking. Through various programs, publications, and events, FEE empowers individuals to understand the economic principles that drive prosperity and fosters a society rooted in individual rights and limited government.

About FEE’s Operations Team:

The Operations (Ops) team is the backbone of FEE, ensuring the organization runs smoothly, efficiently, and in alignment with our mission. We oversee internal systems including finance and accounting, human resources, infrastructure and systems, and marketing and analytics. We also play a key role in shaping a positive, productive culture where each individual is empowered to find their place and thrive. Ops is more than back-office work—it’s about diagnosing problems, improving workflows, and ensuring every team member has the tools, systems, and clarity they need to thrive. We look for people who enjoy analyzing how things work, optimizing what doesn’t, and helping others stay aligned and informed.

About the Internship:

This role is ideal for someone who thinks like a consultant: curious, analytical, organized, and eager to solve internal challenges. You’ll work closely with our Ops team to evaluate and improve how things work behind the scenes—analyzing workflows, testing new systems, and supporting team-wide communication and alignment. The work involves research and analysis to support better decision-making. It’s not a finance internship, and it’s not focused on policy analysis or content writing. Instead, you'll be supporting internal strategy, documentation, and team coordination. If you're energized by optimizing internal operations and enhancing how teams collaborate and communicate, this internship is a great fit.

This role is open to part-time or full-time, in person (Atlanta, GA) or remote work.
