Virtual information session in which you can explore hiring opportunities with Venture for America (VFA).

VFA is a two-year fellowship program for recent grads who want to work at a startup and create jobs in American cities. Fellows apply for jobs within our private job portal, learn important startup skills at our month-long Training Camp, and work for two years as full-time, salaried employees in one of 14 cities. Throughout the Fellowship and after, VFA offers programming to help Fellows grow into startup leaders and grow their business ideas into reality.
