Frequently asked questions

Would I need to go to a physical office?

Yes, being at the office will enhance the overall learning experience.

Would I be paid for this internship?

WeServe Fellows is a summer program for college students who want to make an impact while developing their careers. Participants receive a stipend and work with social-purpose and nonprofit organizations on real consulting projects. By the end of the program, Fellows gain a clearer sense of their career interests and practical skills that will help them succeed in their future.

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 an interview process, like 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 WeServe summer internship is a great way to show your strengths and skills to V2A team.
