Internships
Details
We are offering internships that run through the end of August, 2023. In addition to weekly office hour opportunities, interns are encouraged to participate in staff meetings and community events, both pre-season and during the season. The Corvallis Knights home schedule typically features 30-35 home games, plus additional events. Attendance at all events is recommended. While each internship has a focus area, we are a small organization and interns are exposed to a range of disciplines. Collaboration is encouraged. For questions reach out to [email protected].
