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.

Frequently asked questions
The summer experience will be in a hybrid environment.
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 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.
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.
To become WeServe Fellows, students will pass through a screening 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 virtual summer internship is a great way to show your strengths and skills to V2A personnel.
