Service is a core element of the Washington Ireland Program. Each summer WIP students partner with Service Organisations around New York City, Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Upon their return, they commit to 90 hour Service Projects in their communities around Northern Ireland and Ireland.
Service partners in the USA include;
