NEW! Summer Intern Program
Looking for a bit more out of your coaching experience? This year we’re introducing our new Summer Intern Program!
In addition to the responsibilities listed for our camp coaches, one intern will be selected for each of our four program locations to assist site directors with scheduling and site management. Interns will also gain experience in various areas of operations by shadowing First Tee staff and attending select leadership opportunities. Areas of experience may include: operations, human resources, marketing, social media development, programs innovations, project management, and more!
Summer interns will be eligible for a bonus at the end of their summer in addition to an enhanced level of experience beyond the traditional camp coach experience.
Eligibility
Applicants will be selected based on their application responses and recommendations from First Tee – Fort Worth staff. Only one intern per site will be selected. Applicants must be current participants or alumni of the program to be eligible to apply. All those who are not selected for this year’s program will remain as camp coaches for this summer.
How do I get started?
Complete either of the forms below and we’ll be in touch shortly before this year’s training!
