The Washington Ireland Program inspires and develops promising leaders through an exceptional program committed to building a future of peace and prosperity for the island of Ireland.
For over two decades the Washington Ireland Program has played an important role in post-conflict Ireland by bringing together young leaders from a wide range of communities and backgrounds for an outstanding leadership and skills-development program. Participants are challenged and equipped to reach their full potential in embodying the two core principles of the Washington Ireland Program - service and leadership. WIP Alum are a diverse community of accomplished ambassadors for the program. They share a deeply held commitment to look past differences and to resolve the pressing issues that will define the island of Ireland in the 21st century
