Trident offers hands-on internships for undergraduate students with an interest in non-profit management and sports based youth programs.

We don't have formal "departments" at Trident, so our interns participate in a wide range of tasks - ranging from publicity and marketing to fundraising and event planning. Given the nature of non-profit management, a significant portion of the internship is spent dealing with the nuts-and-bolts, nitty-gritty details and administrative aspects of running a small business. For example, interns might be expected to register large batches of swimmers into our Content-Management-System or administering surveys at our programs. 

Primary responsibilities for this internship include ensuring students are registered correctly and prepared for swim meets and academic enrichment activities; writing original content for our website; photographing at our programs; drawing up social media campaigns optimized for multiple platforms (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) as needed; and general tasks.

Ideal candidates are self-starters who can work independently and collaboratively; have excellent writing and communication skills; are creative thinkers; and have a strong enthusiasm for making a meaningful contribution in the lives of our young participants. 

As an intern, you will serve as a positive role model who will help our swimmers on their journey to becoming better students and faster swimmers. All interns are must undergo a background check. Once your background check is cleared, a staff-member will introduce you at our program and we will walk you through how we work with our participants.

​If you would like to become an intern at Trident, please send a resume and brief cover letter outlining your interest in our internship program to Ledimir Nuñez at ledimir@tridentswimfoundation.org.

IMPORTANT: when applying, please indicate which season you'd like to be considered for, and which specific weekdays you can commit to working from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
