Interns will gain valuable experience in the communications, sports marketing and non-profit fields with a strong emphasis on developing their writing, organizational, and professional skills. Please note, NFF interns are not assigned to a particular department and will be expected to contribute to all areas of the organization.
HR Administrator Note: As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, the NFF is not subject to the intern regulations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. However, we do believe the NFF internship meets all of the Act’s criteria, including providing an experience similar to that which would be given in an educational environment. Additionally, we clearly communicate with all applicants in advance the internship is an unpaid and short-term opportunity.
