GENERAL INFORMATION

Internship Dates:
The Bay State Games offers two 15 week internships that run parallel with the spring semester of the college academic year -- beginning in January and concluding in May. There is some flexibility with start dates to accommodate the varying school years. The candidate must be able to attend the weekend of the Winter Games in February. Interviews will be held in September and October.

Compensation:
All first year interns will receive a $1,000 stipend for working three days per week for 15 weeks. MASF will work with the intern's academic institution to determine if internship hours can fulfill credit or graduation requirements. Interns will receive staff gear and other amenities that may become available, and a small weekly stipend is offered to winter interns to cover travel and other basic costs.

Company Description:
The Massachusetts Amateur Sports Foundation (MASF) is a non-profit organization with the primary function of staging the Bay State Summer and Winter Games. The mission of the MASF is to promote personal development, physical fitness, education, sportsmanship and teamwork through amateur athletic training, competition and Olympic-style events to Massachusetts residents of all ages. Games events are held across Massachusetts and attract more than 8,000 athletes in 28 different sports annually. In addition to sports related programming, MASF produces numerous enrichment initiatives including a Scholarship Program, Sportsmanship Program, Sports Medicine Conference and Health and Fitness Initiative - Kids Fitness Challenge.

Intern Qualifications:
The Bay State Games provide an ideal environment for candidates who are interested in pursuing a career in sports management. We are interested in candidates who are highly motivated, resourceful, creative and willing to work the odd/long hours which are required in event management. It is recommended but not required that interns be Massachusetts residents or students, as we do not provide housing. All interns will be responsible for assisting with general office related duties including data entry, mailings, preparation of press kits, preparation of participant lists and other general duties.
