WeServe is the social arm

of V2A Consulting

Following our WeServe mission, comes the WeServe Fellows Summer Program!

WeServe Fellows is a management consulting program that combines training and service, providing development opportunities for college students from Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. Fellows learn to devise and organize solutions to management problems and become part of consulting projects with micro-enterprises or nonprofit organizations to support their growth; all of this while being mentored and trained by V2A management consultants.

The key to an unforgettable and enriching summer: WeServe Fellows

At the end of July, we wrapped up our #WeServeFellows summer program, but not before interviewing two of our fellows, Alana Rodríguez and Wilfrido Ramos, who spoke with Felipe Grosso, V2Aer and 2020 graduate of the program. In this episode of #V2Apodcast, they reveal their experiences, the lessons learned and why you should not miss the opportunity to apply in the summer of 2023.

We invite you to listen to the episode.

“I couldnʼt have asked for a better professional experience; the WeServe Fellows program is full of resources and incomparable connections that Iʼm sure will continue to benefit me in my academic and professional career!”

– Freshman at Northeastern University

“During the internship, I woke up knowing that my work was helping the island and the overall functioning of our business ecosystem. If you are looking for a career opportunity with purpose and amazing learning opportunities, apply to the WeServe Fellows program.”

– Junior at University of British Columbia

“Never in my life I imagined I would work with a farm business. This experience has been amazing, and I was able to contribute greatly to the organization through my project. V2A, more than a job, is a family; and you can feel the care and the love in developing us. In addition, you meet incredible people, highly intelligent, and very friendly.”

– Senior at University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez

Frequently

Asked Questions

Would I need to go to any physical office?

The summer experience will be in a hybrid environment.

Would I be paid for this hybrid internship?

WeServe Fellows is a voluntary summer program where college students will receive a stipend and the opportunity to receive a scholarship. Fellows will work with a social purpose and nonprofit organizations pro-bono. Fellows come out with a greater perspective of career interests and skills to help them succeed in their future job.

Can I choose the organization I want to work with?

The WeServe leadership team will match students’ skills with the needs of the organizations to be supported. Students won’t know the organizations they will be serving, until the first week of the program when assignments will be made.

Does becoming a WeServe Fellow mean I can work with V2A Consulting?

To become WeServe Fellows, students will pass through a screening process, similar to the initial steps used in the V2A Consulting recruiting process. Fellows who would like to be considered for a V2A position or professional internship, would need to go through the whole recruiting process. Of course, the virtual summer internship is a great way to show your strengths and skills to V2A personnel.
