Summer Internship Program

The Pro Football Hall of Fame, located in Canton, Ohio, the birthplace of the National Football League, is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with the Mission to “Honor the Greatest of the Game, Preserve its History, Promote its Values & Celebrate Excellence Together.” An exhilarating world class museum and attraction, the Pro Football Hall of Fame pays tribute to the talents and triumphs of pro football’s greatest.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Summer Internship Program provides a meaningful and educational, hands-on experience in a variety of disciplines. Interns will have the opportunity to contribute to the organization’s success and gain real world experience throughout the summer leading up to the annual Enshrinement Week.

In addition to departmental work, all interns are required to attend weekly OTAs – organized team activities – which includes engagement with industry experts, networking opportunities, professional skill development and team building activities. 

The Pro Football Hall of Fame understands most individuals seeking an internship are doing so to gain experience. While no particular professional experience is required, preference is given to those who show that they have taken initiative to develop their personal and professional skills.

All summer interns will receive a stipend while interning at the Hall of Fame. If an applicant is seeking college credit, the Hall of Fame will work to meet all necessary requirements.

The 2027 Pro Football Hall of Fame Summer Internship Program will be open for applications on Oct. 27.

Testimonials from our team

Every
expectation
I
had
going
into
the
internship
was
exceeded.
After
learning
about
the
internship
and
then
interviewing
for
it,
I
thought
I
had
a
good
conception
of
what
it'd
be
like;
however,
week
after
week,
I
was
blown
away.
Every
day
in
the
office
felt
upbeat
and
exciting,
and
I
really
enjoyed
working
around
people
who
were
passionate
about
what
they
did.
Zekai Hamilton, 2026 Summer Internship, Sponsorship Department
I
did
not
expect
to
be
given
as
many
responsibilities
or
opportunities
as
we
were.
I
never
felt
like
I
was
there
just
to
do
‘intern
work.’
We
were
included
in
meetings,
given
important
projects,
introduced
to
so
many
people
and
given
opportunities
to
experience
departments
outside
of
our
own.
Harper Judelson, 2026 Summer Internship, Accounting Department
The
weekly
OTA
program
was
one
of
my
favorite
parts
of
the
internship.
Meeting
professionals
who
have
experience
in
fields
that
have
always
interested
me,
specifically
the
NFL,
was
something
that
opened
my
eyes
to
the
many
different
avenues
out
there.
It
was
also
a
great
way
to
check
in
with
fellow
interns
throughout
the
week.
Will Luther, 2026 Summer Internship, Accounting Department
I
loved
how
front-facing
my
role
was
in
Communications.
I
didn’t
feel
like
I
was
behind-the-scenes
for
most
of
the
internship.
I
felt
like
I
was
entrusted
to
be
able
to
interact
with
media
during
Enshrinement
Week
and
also
contribute
different
written
pieces
to
the
Hall’s
website.
Sometime,
organizations
can
cast
their
interns
aside,
but
I
did
not
feel
that
whatsoever
with
the
Hall.
I
truly
felt
part
of
the
team
this
summer.
Andy Caron, 2026 Summer Internship, Communications Department
The
Museum
Team
really
gave
us
independence,
letting
us
curate
the
Anniversary
Locker
exhibit
and
create
captions
with
helpful
feedback.
I
would
also
say
OTAs
surpassed
my
expectations.
They
were
a
lot
of
fun
and
provided
great
opportunities
for
learning
and
building
connections.
Jamie Gallop, 2026 Summer Internship, Museum Services
The
company
culture
was
great!
I
would
describe
it
as
a
team,
there
was
a
drive
to
always
perform
their
best,
while
still
focusing
on
one
goal.
It
truly
was
like
a
family,
with
everyone
very
open
to
helping,
and
I
saw
this
a
lot
during
Enshrinement
Week,
with
people
from
all
departments
helping
in
every
aspect.
Everyone
was
respectful,
kind
and
hardworking.
Greyson Johnson, 2026 Summer Internship, Events & Hospitality Department
I
knew
I
would
be
working
with
youth
and
helping
with
programs,
but
I
didn’t
realize
how
much
responsibility
I
would
have.
I
was
able
to
communicate
with
groups,
help
with
registrations,
work
with
volunteers
and
eventually
take
the
lead
on
KidsFest.
I
also
got
to
see
how
much
planning
goes
into
large
events.
…
This
internship
helped
me
both
personally
and
professionally
because
I
learned
a
lot
about
myself
and
who
I
want
to
continue
to
be.
