Internships at SPIRE

Thank you for your interest in the SPIRE Internship Program!

SPIRE Institute’s mission is to unlock the full potential of the human spirit through athletics, academics and service to others. 

SPIRE conducts an internship program for college students, following the traditional college semester schedule -- fall, winter/spring and summer.  

SPIRE offers internships in the areas of: marketing & communications, sports administration and sport physiology.  Interns will gain experience in all facets of SPIRE and be actively engaged in departmental work.  Descriptions of specific internships are provided in the links at the bottom of this page.  The internship is on site at SPIRE in Geneva, Ohio.

Interns are required to work a minimum of 10 hours per week and can work up to 40 hours per week.  During the summer term, preference will be given to interns who are available to intern full-time.  Students can receive academic credit consistent with their university’s guidelines.  SPIRE’s internship program does not currently provide stipends and housing is not currently provided.  Interns are responsible for making their own housing and transportation arrangements.
