INTERNSHIP PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Cubs Internship Program is a structured 12-week summer program (May 20, 2024 through August 9, 2024) for college students. The program is committed to curating introductory opportunities and exposure to the sports and entertainment business within a major league front office.
The program seeks to provide opportunities to members of underrepresented groups which includes, but is not limited to, students who identify as Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Latino/Hispanic, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander descent, female, disabled, LBGTQ+ and individuals from diverse and/or non-linear educational or vocational paths.
