Bay State Games Internships

The Bay State Games internship program offers candidates the opportunity to gain invaluable experience in all phases of sports management, including marketing, promotion, media relations, event management, operations, budgeting, logistics, participant safety and risk management.

Unlike typical internships, students won’t just be assisting full-time staff on projects or running office errands. The Bay State Summer Games involve more than 7,000 athletes in 27 different sports at 18 competition venues over three straight weeks. Three full-time staffers run the entire operation with assistance from six-seven interns.
Interns will be the primary point of contact for the events and projects to which they have been assigned. All first-year interns receive a stipend of $100 per week for the length of their internship. MASF will work with the intern's academic institution to determine if internship hours can fulfill credit or graduation requirements.
The Bay State Games offers six internships ranging from 10-11 weeks, and will begin in mid-May and end in late July. There is some flexibility with start dates to accommodate the end of the school year and graduations.
