Public organization "Interns League" (Interns League) (Ukrainian: Ліга інтернів) is a voluntary association of graduates of the Internship Program in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, central bodies of executive power and local self-government.[1]

In the first years of its existence, the main goal of the organization was the development of the Internship Program, establishing cooperation and maintaining ties between its graduates [2].

The NGO "League of Interns" is an important social elevator that helps young people gain invaluable experience in public administration[3].

History of creation

[edit]

The youth internship program in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine was founded on the joint initiative of the Association of former members of the United States Congress and Verkhovna Rada in July 1995. In the first year of the Program's existence, no age restrictions were set for participants. The oldest participant of the first internship program was 36 years old (born in 1959), and the youngest participant was only 19 years old (born in 1976)[4]

Since November 2000, administration of the Internship Program has been transferred to the Indiana University Parliamentary Assistance Program, and since September 2008 - to the Legislative Policy Development Program, the Parliamentary Assistance Program of Ukraine II (PSP II), which is implemented by Ohio State University.

In 2008–2013, the Assistance Program of the Parliament of Ukraine II expanded the activities of the Internship Program to the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine and some Ministries of Ukraine.

In April 2009, the NGO "Interns League" was founded, which included graduates of the Internship Program in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and other authorities, whose main task was the administration of the Internship Program, its development, strengthening cooperation between graduates, and creating other opportunities for development young people.

Since 2015, the internship program in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has been implemented jointly with the Human Resources Department of the Verkhovna Rada[5].

From 1995 to 2018, the Program was supported by the United States Agency for International Development[6].

In 2021, the implementation of the Program was financially and expertly supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) within the framework of the program "COUNCIL: Responsibility, Accountability, Democratic Parliamentary Representation" within the framework of the IBO "Eastern Europe Foundation" grant [7].. In the same year, the Program officially celebrated its 25th anniversary[8].

Development of leadership potential

[edit]

Among the priorities of the Internship Program is to raise the level of political culture of interns, prepare young professionals for future leadership[9]. For this purpose, meetings of interns with well-known political and public figures of Ukraine, representatives of international organizations, graduates of the Program who have already achieved significant success are organized. During these meetings, interns have a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and ask questions of invited guests.

In different years, the guests of the Internship Program were Ukrainian politicians: Viktor Yushchenko, [[Oleksandr Zinchenko, Yulia Tymoshenko, Mykola Tomenko, Anatoly Hrytsenko, Andriy Shevchenko, Oleksandr Moroz, Stepan Havrish, Petro Simonenko; representatives of the United States Congress, the United States Embassy,Ktiv and United States Agency for International Development: Marcy Kaptur and Bob Schaeffer, Marie Yovanovitch, Christopher Crowley, Karen Hilliard, Earl Gast, John Herbst, etc.
