Youth sports offer important life lessons that propel kids toward meaningful futures, including a sense of family and community. GameChanger by DICK’S Sporting Goods works to connect families via live video streaming of games, scorekeeping and team communication tools for more than half a million teams. We are a remote-first, dynamic tech company based in New York City intent on improving youth sports for all and developing our own teammates.

OVERVIEW:

About GameChanger:

At GameChanger, we help the youth sports community Live the Game Like Never Before.

We believe youth sports change lives — on and off the field — and we're building the home of youth sports to support every coach, athlete, family member, and fan along the way. Every product decision we make is designed to elevate the next generation through sports.

We are a remote-first, dynamic technology company based in New York City solving meaningful challenges across youth sports — and this summer, we're bringing together a highly intentional cohort of interns to help build what's next.

About the Internship Program:

Our Summer 2026 Internship Program is a 10-week, fully onsite experience in NYC (June 1–August 7, 2026). This is not a shadowing program. As a GameChanger intern, you'll:

• Work on real, high-impact projects

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams

• Be paired with a dedicated mentor

• Build and ship meaningful work

• Present your results during our Final Demo Day

We've intentionally designed a smaller cohort (12 interns) to provide strong mentorship, meaningful ownership, and real exposure to how we build and ship at scale.

The Position:

Join us for a 2025 internship where you can have an impact and grow your skills for the road that lies ahead. GameChanger is seeking a dynamic and creative Social Media Intern to help amplify our presence across platforms like Instagram, X, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube.

• Track post-performance and assist in compiling weekly reports.

• Provide recommendations for content optimization based on trends and data insights.

• Learn how to contribute to a data driven impact model.

• Work with great people, an awesome product, and have lots of fun together along the way!

What We're Looking For:

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, or a related field.

• Familiarity with major social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, YouTube).

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Basic design or video editing experience (e.g., PhotoShop, CapCut).

• Passion for sports and understanding of youth sports culture is a plus.

What You'll Gain:

• 10 weeks of hands-on experience on a product used by millions.

• $40 per hour pay for your contributions.

• Housing in Manhattan covered by GameChanger.

• Round-trip travel to/from NYC covered.

• A MacBook for the duration of the internship.

• Mentorship from experienced leaders.

• Exposure to executive leadership.
