Volunteer, Part-Time & Internship Opportunities
"Swamp Moments" - Volunteer Opportunity
An opportunity from Andrew Case , Director of CRM & Analytics, University Athletic Association :

...We’re extremely excited about the [new mobile] app and the utility it will add for fans attending games at The Swamp. One of the major components of the app is a digital marketplace where we are selling “Swamp Moments,” exclusive gameday experiences that our fans can purchase and redeem...In order to help execute these experiences we are needing some staffing help...Assisting with the program would entail the following:

  • Being present for each of the Gators 6 home football games; arriving approximately 2 hours prior to kickoff and departing approximately 45 minutes after the game.
  • Provide customer service to Gators fans who have purchased Swamp Moments and are redeeming their purchase.
  • Escorting/accompanying fans to their experience. (In several cases this would entail watching all or much of the game from the field; a pretty cool experience!)
  • The UAA will provide volunteers with gear in exchange for their time.

Interested? Send me an e-mail ( craig33@ufl.edu ) to chat about it.
