The Institute for Responsible Citizenship Washington Program

The Institute's primary goal is to inspire and equip the nation's best and brightest African American men to use their extraordinary talents to serve others. The Institute selects some of the nation’s best and brightest African American male college students to participate in its Washington Program. The program includes:

• High-level internships in their fields of interest
• The Lynde and Harry Bradley Seminar on Economic and Constitutional Principles
• Comprehensive leadership and professional development workshops
• Private briefings with some of the nation’s most prominent public and private sector leaders

​These activities are supplemented with extensive support from the Institute’s alumni, staff, and friends. Most importantly, the scholars become a part of a genuine network that will support them in their lives.
