INTERNSHIPS

YOUR NEXT STEP

Internships give students, community members, and individuals new to the field an opportunity to gain experience in organized youth sports. We are excited to offer internship opportunities in several areas of our organization.

People typically think of interns as the people who take coffee orders and copy files. At ORYA we are happy to break away from those stereotypes and introduce our interns to real-life situations where they will build career-related skills while actively contributing to the organization and community. Whether you are looking for a required internship for school, an opportunity to get involved in the community, or your first work experience in organized youth sports, we have plenty of opportunities for you! 

While internships at ORYA are unpaid, they will:

  • Provide you with hands-on experience in your career field.
  • Ensure participants have a memorable, fun experience.
  • Challenge you while giving you a sense of accomplishment.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF AN INTERN

Along with their specific position responsibilities, which you will find in the full description of each opportunity, all interns will be expected to:

  • Represent ORYA’s mission of dedication to the community’s youth.
  • Learn and understand ORYA’s structure and programs
  • Carry out duties promptly and reliably to the best of your ability
