This Is Not a Traditional Internship.

We are currently raising capital and scaling infrastructure to transition key staff full-time while expanding our national university footprint through our Next Play Initiative (NPI).
We are looking for a Chief of Staff Intern to work directly with the Chief Growth Officer in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.
This role is reserved for high-achievers who move quickly, think independently, and operate with polish and urgency.
