N.J. Sen. Andy Kim opens Spring 2027 fellowship in Washington, D.C., for retirees, career changers and other New Jersey applican
A new opportunity from U.S. Sen. Andy Kim is giving New Jersey residents a chance to work on Capitol Hill, and it’s not limited to college students or recent graduates.
Applications are open for the “Spring 2027 Andy Kim Fellowship,” a program designed for people who may not have had a traditional pathway into government service.
The fellowship is specifically open to individuals exploring a new career, retired professionals, people restarting their careers, and those whose work experience is outside government or public policy.
New Jersey ties are required.
The full-time fellowship will be based in Kim’s Washington, D.C. office and will run from January 2027 through May 2027.
According to the senator’s office, the program is intended to provide an opportunity for a participant to gain firsthand experience in a fast-paced, policy-focused congressional office.
The fellowship is separate from the office’s traditional internship program, which is geared toward current and recent graduates from accredited institutions.
Those internships are available in Jersey City, Barrington and Washington, D.C., and applicants must have completed at least one year of college coursework.
The senator’s office said the fellowship seeks to expand access to public service by creating opportunities for people whose backgrounds may not typically lead them to Capitol Hill.
Applications for the Spring 2027 fellowship are being accepted through Oct. 30, 2026.
Questions about the fellowship can be directed to [email protected], and more information and application materials are available on the senator’s official website.
