Internship Opportunities with the Clippers

I was an intern for the Muskegon Clippers in the summer of 2024. I enjoyed learning new things and venturing outside of my comfort zone with an incredible family run organization. It was also rewarding to develop relationships with the community and fans. I definitely recommend becoming an intern for the Clippers! -Natalie Sawyer - Lead Intern 2024 |

"I once played for the clippers so I already knew what it was going to be like at Marsh Field, but I did not realize how much can go into one game, but the fans and the people I worked around made it so fun and so enjoyable so it didn’t even feel like a job but more as something I can have fun and be loose with. The entire Gawkowski family treated me like one of their own and I am very grateful for a great summer experience!" -Daniel Gutierrez - 2024 Intern |
