ABOUT US
The Staten Island FerryHawks are dedicated to creating a vibrant, fan-first experience on and off the field. Competing in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, an MLB Partner League, we play our home games at SIUH Community Park on the St. George waterfront, combining competitive professional baseball with year-round community entertainment. Our internship program gives students hands-on, educational experience alongside and under the supervision of the staff who run a professional sports organization, in their chosen area of study.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Production Intern gains an inside look at how a professional team produces its game-day entertainment. Under staff supervision, the intern learns how live events, staging, audio, and video come together, hands-on event-production experience that is hard to find elsewhere.
GAME-DAY COMMITMENT
This internship requires being present at designated home games. Home game dates and times are listed on the current schedule, available as a PDF on the FerryHawks website (ferryhawks.com). Call time is typically 2.5 hours before first pitch and can run longer depending on the game day. Interns must be available for designated home games, including July 4th.
