The Georgia State Games is one of the largest Amateur Olympic-Style Sports Festivals in the country. We rely HEAVILY on top-quality interns to operate many of our sporting Events Projects and Programs. It is a tremendous experience and we have interns that come from across North America each year. To date, we have had students attend our internship from 37 States, 9 Foreign Countries, and 3 Canadian Providences.
The interns get a GREAT, HANDS-ON experience. No fetching coffee. Real-life planning AND implementation of activities and programs in what they will experience. If you know of quality students that would want to intern in the Atlanta, Georgia area, please encourage them to apply.
