Hi, Nina,
This article from Examiner.net entitled, "Fort Osage Graduate Proves He's a Real Character," may be a good place to find leads to such a program in North America or Japan.
In October of 2012 I came across " Job Offering: Hiroshima Toyo Carp Character Performer" on LinkedIn. While the offer has expired, it does have information on who one may contact. (In fact, I think that I met Gibler-san a number of years ago and was fascinated by his story of becoming the mascot and sticking around full time thereafter.)
I would suggest that you ask about such programs in a general, information gathering tone rather than just send off a resume. It's just more polite.
頑張って。

Thank you so much!
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

I heard that the Hiroshima Carp have a team mascot internship program for American students.
Is this true?
Are the Carp the only team that do this?
Might anyone put me in touch with a current or former mascot intern?
Thank you!
Best,
Nina
