Fellowship Program - Taking Internship

Apply Now: 2026 Virginia Farm Bureau Fellowship Program

The Virginia Farm Bureau Fellowship Program is now accepting applications for the 2026 Summer session.

• Interviews and selection for our first round of openings will occur in October through December 2025.
• We also expect to open additional opportunities after the 1 st of the year, with interviews and hiring to take place in February through April 2026.

Our fellowship program offers college students the chance to dive into real‑world business projects across all areas of our company—Insurance (Sales, Claims, Underwriting, etc.), IT, Marketing, Communications, Human Resources, Government Relations, Public Affairs, and Nonprofit leadership.

As an outcome, we aspire to empower the next generation of leaders in business and agriculture by equipping our fellows with skills, connections, knowledge, and experiences that future employers will seek.

Virginia Farm Bureau supports all Virginians, not just farmers. We provide a diverse range of services including auto, property, commercial, and life insurance, health insurance for small companies, community events management (State Fair of VA and Meadow Event park), and policy advocacy for Virginia’s agricultural industry.

• Professional development workshops & learning opportunities
• Hands‑on, meaningful projects, working alongside company teams
• A meaningful community service initiative
• Networking across our family of companies

We strive to match each Fellow with departments aligned to their interests, background, and career goals.
