Internships
Details
We are offering internships that run through the end of August 2023. In addition to weekly office hours, interns are encouraged to participate in staff meetings and community events, both pre-season and in-season. The season includes a minimum of 30 home games, plus additional events at the stadium. Attendance at these events is recommended. While each internship has a focus area, we are a small organization and everyone wears multiple hats. Flexibility and collaboration are key parts of our program.
