IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before you proceed in the application process please be aware of the following requirements. All internships are volunteer positions (unpaid). Our intern program would be happy to work with your college or university to help you earn credits for the internship. We do ask that you give us the criteria in advance so we can work with you and the school to meet all the necessary requirements. Interns are responsible for their own housing and transportation. Interns are expected to be at all home games at least 1.5 hours before game time. Interns must follow the same code of conduct as all volunteers and players in the organization. Interns are expected to participate in several special events outside of the home game schedule. Every effort will be made to provide the schedule to you as soon as it is available. It is expected that you will set up your work schedule around the home game/special event schedule of the Hyannis Harbor Hawks.
