Are you a motivated college student with a passion for the sports industry? Are you looking for an immersive internship that offers hands-on experience across multiple aspects of running an affiliated professional Minor League Baseball team? Then our internship program is for you!

This is an ideal position for someone interested in sports event management and wants to gain comprehensive experience in the logistics that make game days happen. You will work directly with management and other key staff members to ensure that fans, partners, and gameday employees have a smooth and enjoyable game day experience.
