About the Internship:

The Victory Congressional Internship aims to develop the next generation of LGBTQ+ public leaders by providing hands-on experience and valuable insights into the federal legislative process.

Financial concerns should not stand in the way of your aspirations – LGBTQ+ Victory Institute takes care of housing expenses at no cost to you.

A Comprehensive Leadership Program:

Our internship program is not just about the internship itself. It includes a weekly educational and leadership development program that spans various policy-making careers. Engage with subject-matter experts from diverse working sectors across the District of Columbia, exploring topics such as personal leadership, LGBTQ+ history and advocacy, community engagement and service, and public policy and government.

International LGBTQ Leaders Conference:

In December 2025, you will have the unique opportunity to attend LGBTQ+ Victory Institute’s annual International LGBTQ Leaders Conference. Join hundreds of openly LGBTQ+ leaders in government, politics, advocacy, business, and community organizations for three days of training, skills-building, networking, and engaging discussions.

Program Dates and Expectations:

The spring program will begin with move-in on Monday, January 27, 2025, and will run through move-out on Sunday, April 6, 2025. As a committed intern, you are expected to be available to work during traditional business hours, approximately 40 hours per week.
