CommitteesBefore starting an internship with Walmart, interns can join a committee within the internship program: Social Committee – The social committee organizes all of the interns’ after-work activities such as canoe trips, ball games and rafting, making interns feel welcome. Charity Committee – The charity committee selects a charity the interns will support throughout the summer. This summer, we supported Horses for Healing, a local organization that helps developmentally challenged children grow and learn through horse riding and educational activities. The interns coordinate all fundraising activities, working closely with the sports team and marketing committees to raise funds. Sports Team Committee – The sports team committee participates in the intern-versus-executive softball game to raise money for the interns’ chosen charity, practicing multiple times after work before the big day! Marketing Committee – The marketing committee works with the marketing department to design T-shirts, tickets, posters and other promotional materials for fundraising events. Its members work with several Walmart departments and outside vendors to do so. Proceeds go to the interns’ chosen charity. Concessions Committee – The concessions committee works with our buying team to contact suppliers for food, drinks and candy to sell during the event to benefit the charity. Mentor Me ProgramThrough this program, the interns are matched with a mentor who is a full-time associate that usually has worked for Walmart for several years. The mentor will help his/her intern explore options at Walmart, set goals for the internship, discuss career aspirations and set up job shadows. Most importantly, the mentor lends a helping hand whenever needed. Executive Speaker Series
Throughout the summer, top executives from each area of Walmart meet with the interns and talk about their experiences with leadership, growing with the company, work-life balance, and how to succeed in the corporate world. |

As an intern you have the unique opportunity to participate in Walmart’s Shareholders' Week. The week consist of concert events open to associates and the public, designed to engage, develop and grow the company culture. Walmart’s international associates, as well as visitors from across the company enjoy the week, attending supplier fairs, touring Walmart’s Home Office in Bentonville and the Walton 5 & 10 
The intern-versus-executive softball game is a tradition at Walmart that goes back more than 10 years. At the beginning of their internship, interns challenge top executives to a softball game. The game happens at the end of the program after both teams have practiced for the big day! This is a good way for interns to interact with executives and, of course, both teams are extremely competitive so it is a fun game to watch.
