Apply to be a 2026 Junior Fellow
Graduating college seniors and recent graduates are invited to apply.
Junior Fellows play a vital role in the day-to-day production of our publication. The one-year, full-time fellowship (which can be extended to a second year) includes housing in New York City and a modest stipend. It provides recent college graduates with formative experiences in preparation for careers in print and digital journalism, non-profit operations, and development.
Fellows will cultivate essential editorial skills such as copyediting, fact-checking, and proofreading while assisting with the production of our newsletters, web pieces, and the magazine. Fellows assist with larger First Things programming by staffing events and supporting our Readers of First Things reading groups, or ROFTers.
The application deadline for the 2026 Junior Fellow is on Monday, March 9.
