Frederick Douglas-Daniel O’Connell Global Internship

About the Program

The Frederick Douglass-Daniel O’Connell Global Internship was founded in 2017 as the Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship by the Council for International Educational Exchange (CIEE), the nation’s oldest and largest student exchange organization. Since then, program has evolved to pay tribute to Frederick Douglass’ transformative experience visiting Ireland more than 175 years ago, when Douglass was embraced by the Irish people and met the famous Irish reformer, Daniel O’Connell. This immersive opportunity celebrates their exceptional contributions to society and their notable business acumen, inspiring young professionals to emulate their success and apply their principles in the modern world.

12 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.

Co-sponsored by CIEE, the Government of Ireland, and the African American Irish Diaspora Network all program costs are covered, including housing and airfare. Students will also receive a stipend for their time on the program.
