The United States Olympic Committee conducts an internship program for college students that follows the traditional college semesters -- fall, winter/spring and summer. The internship sites are at Colorado Springs, Colo., Lake Placid, N.Y., and Chula Vista, Calif. Positions are either with the USOC or its sport National Governing Bodies (i.e., Archery, Swimming, Volleyball, etc.).

Interns live at Olympic Training Centers and eat their meals at the Athletes’ Dining Hall.  A small stipend is also provided.

The program offers internships in the areas of:  broadcasting, journalism, marketing, sports administration, culinary nutrition and sport science (strength and conditioning or training/performance).

To be eligible for the internship program, students must have completed at least two years of college before the start of the internship and be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program at an accredited United States college or university.  Internships are competitive.
