The U.S. Government’s Virtual Student Federal Service (VSFS) program provides students with the chance to make an impact on government policies and programs while gaining vital job experience and connections with federal employees. With over 1,200 virtual internship positions across 50 federal agencies, VSFS interns work on a variety of projects including human rights monitoring, digital communications, economic and political reporting, data analysis, graphic design, and app building.
