In the realm of opportunities for students passionate about serving our nation’s Veterans, the Virtual Student Federal Service (VSFS) Internship Program, in collaboration with the Department of State, stands out as a beacon of professional growth and meaningful contribution. At Salute Strong, we wholeheartedly support and champion this initiative, recognizing the transformative impact it has on both the interns and the Veterans they serve.
The VSFS program offers a unique platform for U.S. citizens enrolled in accredited colleges or universities to immerse themselves in the world of digital communications, contributing to projects that honor and support our nation’s Veterans. Salute Strong is particularly thrilled about the partnership with the VA’s Digital Media Engagement (DME) team, a vital force in disseminating valuable information about Veterans’ benefits and health services.
For eligible students, this virtual internship opens doors to diverse positions, ranging from writing and editing articles to engaging in digital media research, graphic design, accessibility internships, and even exploring the frontier of AI content creation. The breadth of opportunities ensures that every intern can find a role that aligns with their skills and interests, making the experience both rewarding and tailored to individual growth.
One of the key strengths of the VSFS program lies in its ability to provide real-world experience while contributing to projects that have a direct impact on Veterans’ lives. Salute Strong believes in the power of experiential learning, and the VSFS program epitomizes this by allowing interns to work alongside professionals at the forefront of digital communications within VA Central Office in Washington D.C.
The Digital Media Engagement team, managed by the VA’s Office of Public Affairs, oversees the main social media accounts and the VA News website, engaging with over 2 million followers. This level of responsibility ensures that interns are not just observers but active participants in conveying crucial information to the public. Writing articles, editing content, conducting digital media research, or creating visually engaging graphics – each intern plays a crucial role in disseminating accurate and impactful information.
Salute Strong applauds the comprehensive approach of the VSFS program, which goes beyond traditional internships by providing leadership opportunities, project management roles, and avenues for interns to contribute to special projects. These elements not only enhance professional development but also foster a sense of ownership and responsibility among the interns, instilling a deeper connection to the mission of serving Veterans.
The application process, which spans from February to the end of February 2024, offers eligible students a chance to be part of this transformative journey. Salute Strong encourages all eligible individuals to seize this opportunity before the deadline and become a force for positive change in the lives of those who have served our country.
Salute Strong proudly supports the VSFS Internship Program and the invaluable contributions of interns within the Digital Media Engagement team. Through this initiative, we believe in cultivating a new generation of professionals who are not only skilled in their respective fields but also deeply committed to honoring and supporting our nation’s Veterans. Apply now and be a part of Salute Strong – where passion meets purpose, and interns become catalysts for positive change in the lives of Veterans.
