Dare to Overcome student intern volunteers will help with the logistics at the annual Dare to Overcome (DTO) conference, May 20-21, 2026. This is the 7th national Faith@Work ERG* and Corporate Chaplain Conference put on by the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation in partnership with the Busch School of Business at The Catholic University of America in Washington DC, where it is held.
In addition, student intern volunteers will have the unique opportunity to meet and serve as liaisons to Fortune 500 and other corporate representatives at the conference, getting an inside look at how people of diverse backgrounds put their faiths to practice as top professionals. They will also receive recognition and a certificate at the end of the event.
Student intern volunteers who are accepted are responsible to cover all costs getting to/from Washington DC. They also will need to certify that they have medical insurance. Student scholarships are available to cover conference fees as well as room and board during the conference.
Student intern volunteers must arrive at the Busch School of Business by 4:00 PM on Monday, May 19, 2025, for orientation and to help with set up for the conference. They will be fully engaged in both liaison and logistics activities through 6:00 PM on Wednesday, May 21, to assist with breakdown of the conference.
