Little League World Series Residency Program Informational Session Recap

Brian McClintock and Kevin Fountain, representatives from Little League International, visited Newhouse to discuss an exciting summer residency program. This unique, six-week event-based communications experience is exclusively designed for Hampton University, Penn State, and Syracuse University students. The application window for individual/student placements opens on February 28 and will close at 5 p.m. ET on Monday, March 31, 2025.

“The Little League is super proud to work with Syracuse University as well as Penn State and Hampton University to bring the Little League World Series and all of our Little League tournaments to life. This experience provides students with an immersive sports event experience. It’s unmatched and really gives them that practical work experience, while also supporting dreams of kids from around the world and bringing that to life,” said Brian McClintock.

Running from July 18 to August 24, 2025, the program offers both remote and on-site roles, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in video production, media relations, and in-game entertainment.

The first phase (July to mid-August) involves remote video highlight support, including tracking multiple games, organizing media assets, and working with partners like the MLB Network/ESPN. 

The second phase (mid-August to August 24) takes place on-site in Williamsport, PA, where students will assist with in-game entertainment, scoreboard operations, sponsorship activations, public relations, and multimedia storytelling. Select students may also have opportunities at the Little League Softball World Series in Greenville, NC. 

This is a paid opportunity where housing and some meals will be provided upon arrival at the site. While travel expenses to and from Williamsport and/or Greenville are the student’s responsibility and won’t be covered by Little League International, transportation from any airport within a reasonable driving distance of Williamsport will be provided. 

Residents will receive notifications in May regarding their selection for the program.
