Congressional Black Caucus 2024 Interns

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) is excited to announce the arrival of the Summer 2024 cohort of Congressional and C-Suite interns, a dynamic group of young leaders from colleges and universities across the country poised to begin a transformative public policy and professional development journey this week. This highly competitive internship program offers a unique opportunity for students to gain firsthand experience in the legislative process, develop leadership skills, and contribute to the mission of advancing the global Black community. Throughout the summer, the selected interns will be placed in Congressional offices and work closely with members of the Congressional Black Caucus. They will engage in policy research, constituent services, legislative writing, and attend professional development workshops as part of the CBCF program. This immersive experience is designed to empower interns with the skills and networks needed to effect change and pursue careers in public service, and includes accommodations in the heart of Washington, D.C., a stipend, professional development training, and exclusive networking events to expand their professional networks. The Congressional Internship program is one of a full range of experiential opportunities offered by the CBCF Leadership Institute, whose goal is to increase the pool of Black leaders in public service careers and public policy positions through providing fellowships, internships, and scholarships. In 2023, CBCF hosted 110 interns across the Spring, Summer, and Fall from 24 states and representing 80 schools. The program also awarded more than $3 million in scholarships to 380 students that same year. The CBCF Summer 2024 Intern Cohort is Brandon Horne Southern University Baton Rouge LA from Monroe LA, Nyic'Quavayion Willis Grambling State University, Sasha Wilson Grambling State University among the many interns.
