About The 24 Foundation & CNFL Internship Program

The 24 Foundation focuses on youth empowerment, digital skilling, AI, and career pathways. We are launching the Chesterfield NFL Flag League (CNFL), designed to address the lack of recreational sports in the area while integrating sports with education. The foundation seeks to provide real-world experience to students to enhance their employability. We are actively recruiting students who want to explore non-athlete-centric careers in sports, such as data analysis, fan experience technology, and marketing.
