Are you a college student looking to earn credits this upcoming summer while interning for one of Philadelphia’s longest-tenured sports sites? Well, you’re in luck because Phillies Nation is now taking applications for interns for the the 2021 season. This internship will provide you the unique chance to work with Phillies Nation CEO Brian Michael, Editorial Director Tim Kelly, Deputy Editorial Director Destiny Lugardo and our talented staff. This internship will allow you on-the-job training while you reach an extremely large audience.

Further information is available below on the three different positions you can apply for:

Social Media Intern

• Manage the Phillies Nation Twitter account during games three times a week. Tweet updates and highlight videos to our 50,000+ followers during the game.
• Schedule on this day history posts on Twitter and Facebook.

Writing Intern

• Writing interns will be asked to do 150-250 word write-ups during two games per week. The write-ups will center around in-game highlights, such as if Bryce Harper hits a go-ahead home run or Aaron Nola throws a nasty pitch. Interns will be expected to watch the entirety of all games they are on-call for, and be able to turn around highlight articles in a timely manner.
