This program is for students who are currently enrolled in an accredited educational institution seeking unpaid work experience or education-related training opportunities.Federal employee relatives may participate in SVSP consistent with the FDA policy on employment of relatives.

Volunteering at the FDA is limited to services performed by a student, with the permission of the educational institution where the student is enrolled. A written agreement between FDA and the educational institution must be established before we assign our volunteers.
