Interns & volunteers are an integral part of our dynamic team and we greatly value their efforts, creative contributions. In providing our interns with a challenging, friendly and fulfilling experience, we expect that in return interns display a professional and responsible manner during their time with WPC. All interns must be willing to make a minimum commitment of four weeks. During this period they will be assigned a supervisor with whom they will interact and report.
