Administrative & Event Management Interns
Administrative & Event Management Interns
The Falmouth Commodores is one of ten Cape Cod League Baseball Teams, the preeminent summer collegiate baseball league in the United States. Scouts from all major league teams attend games and many players are ultimately drafted to play in the MLB. The Commodores are looking for summer interns to work with Fan Relations for the 2022 season. If you are an enthusiastic team player who thrives in an environment where collaboration, creativity, and teamwork are encouraged, this may be the perfect opportunity for you.
All intern positions are non-paying. Prospective interns must arrange for their own housing and transportation while on Cape Cod. The Commodores staff will assist where possible in helping interns find affordable lodging and part-time employment.

The Falmouth Baseball Club, Inc (dba Falmouth Commodores) is a 501(c)(3) organization and has no paid employees with the exception of coaches that are here during the summer season. All other members and volunteers are unpaid. In addition to having an option of completing an internship for course credit, interns are given an opportunity to apply skills learned in the areas of hospitality, event management, and administrative assistant. This experience, in turn, will benefit the intern considerably in future job searches as well as in their chosen career fields. While independence and autonomy are valued traits in an intern, they will be given guidance and supervision, as well as both positive and constructive feedback throughout their internship experience. This position is only for the summer baseball season that runs from the beginning of June to mid-August (at the latest, assuming the team makes the playoffs ... the earliest completion date would be the first week of August).
