Program Overview
Twelve exceptional student leaders will be selected for a transformative summer internship program in Dublin, Ireland, where they will draw inspiration from the legacies of two remarkable social justice leaders: Frederick Douglass and Daniel O'Connell.
During this unique eight-week program, Douglass-O’Connell Global Interns will spend June 13 to August 9, 2025 in a fully immersive internship at an Irish organization and accompanying academic seminar. During extracurricular activities throughout the program, the interns will also participate in a special exploration of the influence Daniel O’Connell had on Frederick Douglass and their lifetime legacies as successful businessmen and leaders of social change.
Students seeking a rich international experience that combines real-world work experience in Ireland with an exciting overview of Irish history and culture are encouraged to apply. Join us in Dublin for a summer of growth, learning, and the pursuit of a better, more inclusive world.
