The Whitecaps are still looking for Game Day Interns for this summer. We are accepting applications for interns in the 2023 season. The positions are listed below.
Whitecaps intern positions are rewarding and fun.
Each season, we have a number of intern positions available. The positions range from game day to broadcast and media interns to general manager interns. These are exciting and fulfilling positions within the premier colligate summer baseball league, the CCBL. See descriptions below. BTW: you get to spend the summer on Cape Cod. If you are interested apply for the 2023 season now is the time to apply.
Game Day Interns –
Love baseball? Want a career in Sports Management, Public Relations, Business, or some other appropriate field? Why not spend the summer at the ball field on Cape Cod?
The Brewster Whitecaps are supported by approximately ten Game Day Interns every season. Our game operations include setting up the fans’ area before every game, so our thousands of fans have a memorable day at the game. We take donations at the gate, sell raffle tickets, hang sponsors’ banners, welcome local groups, help sell souvenirs, and all the sideline tasks that enable the community to put a top-flight NCAA team on the field.
We often take on additional responsibilities – An intern with some photographic experience can contribute to our on-line content. The game day interns also interact with our younger fans by organizing some of the kid’s activities.
It’s hard work, and there’s no salary. It is baseball, and it’s on Cape Cod. A Cape League intern is a great line on your resume and as good a reference as you earn (which is usually very good indeed). If you can earn credit toward your degree, we can work that out, too. So if you have a place to stay in the area*, transportation, and afternoons free (we start as early as 3:00 as the Whitecaps play at 5PM, not under the lights), send us a resume, and maybe you’ll get to spend this summer with the Whitecaps.
