August 2023 - June 2024  |  Cleveland, Ohio

NACDA offers up to four (4) internships per year that focus on various events and projects as determined by the various Associations' Board of Directors/Executive Committees. Each intern is assigned to specific Affiliate Associations based on career path interest and previous experiences, giving them the opportunity to work with, and establish relationships with, some of the biggest decision makers in college athletics.
 
In addition to the networking opportunities, NACDA interns enhance and learn a number of skills including internal and external communication, social media strategy, design, writing, customer service, office administration, attention to detail and many others.
 
NACDA interns will be responsible for completing projects and assignments primarily designated by NACDA's Association Managers, as well as athletics administrators in leadership roles within each Affiliate Association. The interns will also work with NACDA's Membership Director to continually update the Association's database and serve the entire membership through renewals and event registrations.
 
The internship program culminates with the NACDA & Affiliates Convention, held annually in June. Throughout the year the interns will assist with the planning and execution of NACDA's largest event.

The NACDA internship program is specifically designed for individuals who aspire to work in college athletics administration. Candidates have typically completed their bachelor's degree and in some cases a master's degree as well, though an advanced degree is not required. Individuals may utilize the NACDA internship toward college credit as long as their schedule allows them to be present at the office in a full-time capacity.
