USTA NorCal Seeking Awesome Interns!
Gain valuable and meaningful work experience in the sports industry! USTA NorCal has had the pleasure of working with smart, talented and ambitious interns. We are creating more internship opportunities at our corporate office in Alameda for high school or college student interns. Additionally, we may have intern opportunities out in your Northern California community. Our field staff are seeking interns to help them with ongoing community tennis project and programs.
Here's what NorCal Intern, Isabelle had to say:
"Being an intern at the USTA has been one of the most amazing experiences I've had. Not only do they give me relevant projects to the career field in which I'm interested, they let me explore work in other departments to see if I could potentially have an interest in different areas as well. An internship should be an opportunity for someone to see what career path would be best suited for them, and having the liberty to try my hand at new projects in the various facets of the USTA has definitely helped me shape and refine my career goals a little more. Sometimes interns can feel as if they are treated as "free labor," but interning here has never made me feel that way. I'm included and treated as an equal - almost as if I were an actual coworker - and it has helped immensely in getting me prepared for work in the "real world."

USTA NorCal has different staff areas including:
- Competitive Play, Junior Player Development and Junior Tournaments
- 10 & Under Tennis Play Days and Junior Team Tennis
- Adult Leagues and Tournaments
- Marketing/Communication and Administration
- Outreach, Diversity/Inclusion and the Northern California Tennis Foundation
Our departments can often accommodate an intern who brings varied experience to the table. Have you played USTA junior tennis? Do you have social media experience? Do you have event coordination experience? Do you love marketing projects? At USTA, you will learn and make a difference too.
In order to intern at USTA NorCal you must be able to attain college or high school credit. Our internships are unpaid—so school credit becomes your compensation. We are able to offer our interns a priceless front row seat to the many projects and activities that we plan and facilitate year round. We can be flexible with the weekly hours, time of year and duration of an internship. A USTA NorCal internship will look great on your resume.
Please submit your resume and a cover letter explaining your background, area of interest, and most importantly your availability. We look forward to hearing from you! Submit to:
