YRichmond is an eight-week, after-hours experience designed to complement and elevate your summer internship program. While interns gain valuable experience during the workday, YRichmond adds connection, community, and regional engagement beyond the office, helping transform a summer job into something far more meaningful.

For employers, YRichmond is a simple, high-impact way to strengthen intern engagement without adding extra lift to your team. The program expands your interns’ experience beyond the workplace by connecting them with peers across industries and immersing them in the Richmond region’s energy and opportunity. Too often, top talent spends a summer here without forming meaningful ties to the community. YRichmond helps change that by turning short-term internships into long-term investment in your company and in the region’s talent pipeline.

For interns, this is more than another summer program. It is your starting point. You are already building skills and gaining experience. YRichmond adds the people and the place. Through curated after-hours experiences, you will meet other interns from across the region, explore the region beyond the office, and build real connections that last longer than the summer. You will leave with more than a line on your résumé. You will leave with a network, a sense of belonging, and a clearer picture of what your future in Richmond could look like.
