Become a Leader in Affordable Housing
Virginia Housing's Two-Year Fellows Program
What is the Fellows Program?
The Fellows Program is not an internship, but rather a full-time, salaried role at Virginia Housing. If accepted, you’ll spend the next two years working alongside creative problem solvers and innovators. You’ll gain hands-on experience working on real projects, and developing industry knowledge, leadership and analytical skills.
Who Should Apply?
We’re looking for emerging leaders: people who are innovative, visionary, analytical, lifelong learners — and excited about our affordable housing mission. They may have a wide range of skills, education and backgrounds, but all will share our deep commitment to supporting affordable housing. Virginia Housing is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. Further, we encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds and traditionally underrepresented communities to apply.
How Will This Help Your Career?
As a Fellow, you’ll work in a collaborative environment with experienced Virginia Housing associates and business partners, with opportunities to learn and grow in different aspects of the industry.
- Year One – You will work with divisional leadership, advisory councils and business partners as you learn about policy and project work, and the internal workings of Virginia Housing.
- Year Two – You’ll work with an external business partner on capacity building and research assignments, gaining exposure to more industry professionals and organizations, enhancing your network and skills.
- At the end of your two-year fellowship, you’ll receive job placement assistance with an affordable housing industry partner.
