Wisconsin Rapids, WI – November 19th, 2012. Are you a people person, possess integrity, a good work ethic, and have interest in a sports profession someday? If so, then a summer internship with the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters may be right for you!

Every summer the Rafters hire 6-7 interns to help fill vital roles within the team’s front office. An intern with the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters receives the opportunity to experience what running a baseball organization is like from a game day standpoint. The internships are full-time and require a full commitment of the summer. Interns will not only work every home game, but will also help handle all day-to-day responsibilities in the front office on off-days as well.

Through the Rafters internship program, interns will experience professional growth in a variety of areas including, but not limited to: customer service, promotions, marketing and public relations, ticketing, ballpark operations, along with hard work on a daily basis. This experience will allow each intern the opportunity to be a part of 35 Rafters home games at Witter Field, with the possibility of more games if the Rafters reach the playoffs.

The following is a list of the various internships to be offered in 2013:
1) Operations/Concessions Emphasis
2) Operations/Merchandise Emphasis
3) Ticketing
4) Video Production
5) Marketing/PR (2 positions available)
6) Broadcast/Media Relations (seasonal internship)
