An internship with Colorado Springs Sports Corporation is your chance to gain real-world experience in sports tourism, large-scale event management, and community engagement. Interns work side-by-side with professionals to plan and deliver citywide experiences that attract hundred-thousands of participants and spectators to Olympic City USA.
You’ll get hands-on exposure to event operations, marketing, logistics, sponsorship, and volunteer coordination while learning how major events come to life from start to finish.
Internships are offered seasonally with part-time and full-time opportunities. Candidates should be energetic, detail-oriented, and passionate about creating unforgettable experiences through sport.
