Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Analyze our current online presence across platforms and identify real, actionable opportunities to grow registrations and brand awareness.
  • Use AI tools and technology to build organized lists, processes, and outreach systems that help us grow smarter and faster.
  • Make sales calls and send outreach emails to prospective school partners, community organizations, and facility partners — you'll be representing us in the field.
  • Attend and participate in meetings with potential partners and community contacts as needed.
  • Join a weekly online team meeting to align on priorities, share findings, and discuss goals with leadership.
  • Research grant opportunities that align with our mission of youth development and community impact — and help us pursue them.
  • Identify new school partnership opportunities — charter schools, private schools, and creative community partners we haven't tapped yet.
  • Build repeatable systems and documented processes that our team can use long after your internship ends.
  • Bring fresh eyes and bold ideas — we actually want to hear them.

Requirements

  • You're self-sufficient and proactive — you don't wait to be told what to do next, you find the next thing and go.
  • You're comfortable picking up the phone, sending the email, and walking into a conversation with confidence.
  • You're curious by nature — you go down rabbit holes, connect dots, and love finding things other people miss.
  • You're comfortable with AI tools and technology and see them as a competitive advantage, not a shortcut.
  • You're organized and process-minded — you don't just find information, you build something useful with it.
  • You can work independently, manage your own time, and follow through without someone standing over your shoulder.
  • You want to grow — not just complete an internship, but actually develop skills, stretch yourself, and leave better than you came.
  • You care about more than a line on your resume — you want to contribute to something that actually matters.
  • You&aposre studying Marketing, Business, Communications, Sports Management, or something adjacent — or you're simply hungry to learn and prove yourself.
  • No prior sports industry experience required. What matters most is that you&aposre a self-starter who takes initiative, communicates proactively, and genuinely wants to make a difference in a community-rooted organization.

    Benefits

    • $100/month Stipend.
    • College credit (we'll work with your institution to make it official).
    • Real, resume-worthy experience — not busy work. You’ll have tangible projects and outcomes to point to.
    • Direct mentorship and access to organizational leadership through weekly team meetings.
    • Flexible scheduling that fits around your academic life.
    • Hands-on sales and partnership experience — the kind that actually prepares you for a career.
    • A front-row seat to how a growing franchise operates — from sales and partnerships to community development and grant strategy.
    • A team culture that's warm, fun, a little quirky, and genuinely invested in seeing you grow as much as the kids we serve.
    • The satisfaction of knowing your work helped more kids get access to the kind of experience that shapes who they become.
