WHY: 

The annual Intern Day of Service is a staple in Protiviti's summer internship program because of the firm's dedication to volunteerism and community service. The inclusion of interns in Protiviti's community initiatives has proven successful in helping them to understand the firm's fundamental values and culture, while also providing them with an opportunity to give back to the local communities where they are living and interning for the summer.

Several of the Intern Day of Service activities will support Protiviti's year-round, award-winning, community service initiative known as 'i on Hunger,' which has provided more than eight million meals for the hungry around the world through meal-packing events, food drives and meal delivery efforts since its inception in 2014.
