Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Wabash Valley Power is a not-for-profit electric cooperative and wholesale provider of reliable, affordable electricity to our 21 electric distribution member cooperatives. These cooperatives in turn serve more than 280,000 homes, businesses, and farms in Indiana and Illinois.

As a not-for-profit co-op, we do things a bit differently—and that’s the point. Because we aren’t influenced by shareholders, we make our decisions with our members in mind. That means we value things like teamwork, and putting families first. It also means a business model that’s designed for stability and growth. It’s a Deliberately Different approach to the energy industry, and that’s great news for the people who count on us.

At WVPA, we believe internships should be more than a line on a résumé. Our program is designed to provide students with meaningful, hands-on experiences that foster professional growth, build lasting connections, and create real impact. Through engaging projects, mentorship, professional development opportunities, and exposure to leaders across the organization, interns gain valuable career experience while exploring the electric cooperative industry and the diverse career paths within it.
