Intern – Immersion Inclusion Internship

At Veterans United, we help Veterans buy homes. We also strive to introduce historically underrepresented students to the mortgage industry through our Immersion Inclusion Summer Internship program.

We are seeking students committed to inclusion, who meet one or more of the following:

• Are members of a community experiencing education or career barriers,

• First generation college students,

• Military Veterans,

• Are motivated by their heritage or culture to assume a leadership role or attain a particular goal through their unique ability and perspective, or

• Have demonstrated courage and determination in overcoming racial exclusion.

About The Role:

Our Immersion Inclusion Internship is a fast-paced, hands-on program perfect for people who love tackling challenges and driving results. We offer different tracks across multiple departments, so there’s something for everyone. Interns will also get the chance to take part in mentorships and group projects, with past projects including nonprofit/community support and business pitches.

As an Immersion Intern, you could be placed in one of these areas:

• Business

• Finance

• Operations

• Sales

• Technology

The Immersion Internship program is all about making a difference. From day one, you’ll dive into meaningful work that impacts the community, all while enjoying some of the perks of being part of the team—think personal and professional development, a casual dress code, and company-wide social events. Plus, you’ll have plenty of chances to give back through volunteer opportunities that truly enhance lives. On top of that, as an Immersion Intern, you’ll get hands-on experience to help you crush your career goals. Whether it’s taking feedback from mentors, stepping up to support your team, or learning the ins and outs of the mortgage industry, you’ll have every chance to grow. Along the way, you’ll be fully immersed in Veterans United’s culture and values, gaining skills and connections that will stick with you long after the internship ends.

Here’s a snapshot of what you’d be doing:

• Helping with administrative tasks and keeping things organized.

• Learning the ins and outs of your department and how it fits into the mortgage industry.

• Attending and actively participating in leadership, professional development, and team building events.

• Putting together and presenting proposals to leadership.

• Always looking for ways to improve processes and make things run even smoother.

• Pitching in wherever needed (excluding licensed tasks) to help foster a supportive and collaborative team culture.

About You:

• You stay calm and get things done even when the pressure is on.

• Smart, analytical decision-making is a strong suit.

• You have stellar communication skills, whether it’s writing or talking with others.

• You roll with changes and can easily shift priorities.

• Providing top-notch customer service comes naturally to you.

• Fast-paced, results-oriented environments are where you truly excel.

• You’re a true team player, and thrive in a highly cooperative work setting.

• You’re a student or recent graduate, ideally a junior or senior in college.

About Us:

We’re all about helping Veterans and military families become homeowners. In two short decades, we closed over 500,000 VA Loans and became the #1 VA lender for homebuyers in the nation. But to us, success isn’t measured in numbers. Our success is measured in living our values every day: Be Passionate and Have Fun, Deliver Results with Integrity and Enhance Lives Every Day. We always strive to provide friendly service to military homebuyers and their families. And we always seek to lift up people and communities across the country.

This paid internship comes with housing in Columbia, Missouri, a city that’s been called one of the best places to live in the country! Columbia was also ranked as one of the top 25 cities for young professionals. With a great sports scene and tons of trails and parks, there’s always something fun to do.

We’re so glad you’re here checking out this opportunity! If this role gets you excited but you’re worried you don’t check every box – don’t sweat it. We’re more interested in what you can bring to the team than a perfect checklist. If you’re passionate, driven, and ready to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you. Come as you are, and together we’ll create something amazing.
