Event Coordinator Internship

Do you love to entertain and create memorable experiences for others?

Does planning activities and designing exciting atmospheres sound like more fun than work?

Start building your professional network and gaining experience in the community event field today with an internship with RISHER LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT (RLM). From large scale community events to small intimate programs, our robust internship program has successfully mentored, guided, and prepared individuals interested in having a career in events since 2009. We have helped students satisfy school credits and requirements through paid and unpaid internship opportunities and are ready to prepare you to enter the event planning field upon completion.

An internship with RLM offers a comprehensive experience in the event industry. Our interns work alongside our Lifestyle Directors to see first-hand how we construct, schedule, and execute community events and programs based on our client’s needs. From the initial understanding of what the client is looking for to securing space, assembling activities, and executing all aspects of the event, our directors and interns are involved with every detail of making the vision come to fruition.

RLM focuses on ensuring the clients/communities receive the event they imagined, and all attendees have a safe and pleasant experience. We offer event and activity management to the highest standard and aim to provide unparalleled customer service to all individuals. Interns with RLM will experience how our directors integrate their creativity and passion into reality through their daily operations.

RLM interns will complete most of their internship hours at one or two locations but will have the opportunity to visit all sites and speak with each Director about their personal experience within the industry.
