Program Of the People: Widening the Path

Junior Fellows Internship Program

Junior Fellows Internship Program

The Library of Congress Junior Fellows Internship Program enables emerging professionals (undergraduate, graduate students and recent graduates) to gain career experience by working with analog and digital collections and supporting the services of the world’s largest library. Working with curators and specialists in various divisions, Junior Fellows explore collections, resources, and initiatives and produce products that position the Library of Congress as a dynamic center for fostering innovation, sparking creativity, and building lifelong connections. Of the People: Widening the Path increases outreach and opportunities for the Junior Fellows Program, a signature initiative of the Library of Congress since 1991.

The open application period for the 2026 Junior Fellows Program is closed. Applications for the 2027 Junior Fellows Program are expected to open in late fall 2027.
