The La Crosse Loggers organization offers unparalleled hands-on experience to a select handful of college students every spring and summer through our internship program. Positions range from season ticket activation to inside sales, to corporate services, social media, and more! Interns with the Loggers not only learn what it takes to run a baseball club on a daily basis, but also get the opportunity to work in an exciting, fast-paced environment. The Loggers season is a fun-filled 72 game schedule with 36 home games at Copeland Park & Events Center, with additional non-baseball events rounding out the summer.
La Crosse will be hosting a summer collegiate softball team starting summer 2024! The inaugural season will consist of 20 home games at Copeland Park. Internships might have opportunities within baseball and/or softball.
Come work with an established team and connect yourself with a growing league as you gain valuable experience while having a fun-filled season. The La Crosse Loggers provide you the opportunity to be involved in every possible aspect of the organization, which may include tickets sales, on-field promotions, concessions management, merchandising, media relations, video production, and more.
The Loggers will provide a stipend based on the number of hours worked. Interns are expected to work all home games, with the opportunity to work special events if interested. While most internships will end at the conclusion of the baseball season, please communicate with your supervisor to see if there are any needs after the baseball season ends.
