EBA INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Every Body Athletics is designed to strengthen everybody, including the teammates who volunteer their time in our classes. EBA sees its volunteer program as a way to foster authentic friendships among people with and without disabilities, and a means to grow brand new disability advocates who can help spread the message of inclusivity in the community.
The EBA Internship Program takes these goals a step further, allowing high school and college students to step into key leadership positions to help accelerate this positive community impact. Both positions provide various opportunities for students to lead their peers by serving as representatives of the EBA mission at their school, all the while developing essential professional, organizational, and communication skills along the way.
EBA Interns
An Every Body Athletics Intern plays a vital leadership role in the EBA volunteer program, acting as the main point of contact for all student volunteers. The EBA Intern builds the volunteer schedule each month, provides ongoing communication and encouragement to volunteers, and leads EBA School Ambassadors in their bimonthly meetings. An EBA Intern work closely with staff to help further develop EBA programming, plan for events, and complete other roles and tasks to serve adults with disabilities and their families.

“I learned so much about leadership and communication that I now apply in my current ‘Big Girl’ job, and- above all else- feel so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful and loving community like EBA!”
“Being a School Ambassador was one of my proudest achievements while I was in high school. We grew our EBA Club to TWICE its size, and it was easy to see the huge impact we were making across our school.”
