APPLY TO THE WASHINGTON IRELAND PROGRAM

The Washington Ireland Program for Service and Leadership (WIP) is preparing the
next generation of leaders for Ireland and Northern Ireland. It does this by bringing
together promising students for a unique team development experience and by
placing them in Washington’s most prestigious internships.
In Washington, participants gain exposure to the world’s oldest democracy and are
immersed in American culture. Through an intense eight-week schedule, WIP
interns are trained to work together as a team and are challenged to develop their
own vision for the future of a post-conflict Ireland.

Students are placed in offices representing government, business, non-profit and
media organizations. At the end of the summer, participants return home with
enhanced professional and interpersonal skills as well as a new confidence in their
own leadership abilities.

More than 400 young adults have graduated from WIP with many now emerging in
important careers in politics, law, business, media and education. As they move into
critical leadership roles, they retain their connection with WIP and continue to give
back to their local communities through an active alumni network.
