Development Intern / Sports Management

We offer a variety of internship opportunities for students who are interested in enhancing their academic experience with real-world experience in their field. Our goal is to cultivate a mutually beneficial relationship. While the intern provides his or her supervisor with professional and efficient support, the supervisor will educate the intern on the specific components of non-profit management and give him or her hands-on experience.

Numerous interns are needed year round for internships throughout the state. We provide internship opportunities in volunteer management, sports, communications and development.

Scheduling:

The scheduling of internship programs is determined by the supervisor and the intern. The time commitment ranges from 10-40 hours per week. Generally our internships follow the academic calendar. We have a fall, spring and summer internship program.

Compensation:

Internships are offered on a volunteer basis.
