Testimonials

My experience at We Avec U as an intern was a great one. The 30 hours internship program I completed here was very well balanced with theoretical knowledge and practical experience. I would definitely recommend this organization to anyone who is looking for an internship for clinical psychology. The supervisors are quite knowledgeable and helpful.

I recently completed my internship at We Avec U and let me tell you... it was fun! You won't ever feel like you are in a very formal setting. The teachers/facilitators at We Avec are very kind and friendly & the overall environment around there is quite euphoric! Highly recommended if you are someone who enjoys the concept of knowledge+fun!

I did a 30 hours offline volunteer ship at We Avec U and it was a great experience. The supervisors were great and helpful while being flexible with the timings also. I was able to learn a lot as well as improved my skills. It was overall a fun and a learning experience.
