About the Job
Title: Parent Experience & Retention Intern - Skyhawks Sports (Treasure Valley)
When a family finishes a Skyhawks program, one of two things happens. Either they feel seen, cared for, and eager to sign up for the next season, or they quietly drift off. The difference is not the sport. It is the experience around the sport. We are hiring an intern to make sure every Skyhawks family feels genuinely cared for from the first email to the last drop-off.
Skyhawks Sports serves thousands of families across the Treasure Valley every year. This internship is for a student who understands that hospitality is a form of leadership. The families you serve will remember how they were treated long after they forget the score.
THE ROLE:
You will own the parent experience across every touchpoint outside the field itself. Welcome sequences, mid-camp check-ins, thank-you notes, testimonial collection, re-enrollment nudges, and warm responses to the small questions parents ask. This is care work with real business impact, because retention is the cheapest and most powerful growth we have.
