Leadership Training / Business Internships
Employment at Flag Star is a two-way street. We interview, train and manage our employees in the hopes of providing the best possible youth sports experience. And yet - when the season is over and the payroll has run - there’s something our staff gives us that’s impossible to quantify.
Our Winter/Spring Internship program is a way to give that little something back. Working with a wide-range of our younger leaders (ages 14 - 24) Flag Star runs a Winter/Spring Sports Business internship program with Monumental Sports to invest back in our leaders. It gives them real-world work experience, exposure to a multi-faceted organization and something tangible to put on their resume outside of “Coach” or “Ref” (neither of which does their impact/experience justice).
Running since January of 2016, our internship program has graduated hundreds of young leaders who’ve gone on to great and incredible things in their lives.
We’re proud to provide this opportunity to those who provide so much to our eco-system. Together, we keep moving forward.
