Application Process for LT Interns
All LT interns who will be employed by Reliant must apply online using the application for their church to be a paid intern during their summer as an intern at LT. They will not need to apply as an LT participant.
Volunteer Interns who will not be employed by Reliant or the YMCA should apply using the Associate application found here.
Interns may apply at any time up until the deadline.
Below is a sample email you could use to send to a potential LT intern.

LT Fee Info
- LT Directors, be prepared to give Reliant the LT payment amount for interns by December 16. This fee is necessary to calculate their support goal.
- LT interns do not pay their LT fee directly. The Reliant summer intern program will do an internal transfer for their LT payment and they will only pay out of pocket if they have insufficient funds (see Event Fee Payments Made by Reliant Employee).
- The LT intern's application with Reliant (reliant-collegiate-program.breezy.hr) also serves as their LT participation application. They do not need to fill out an LT Participation application like the other LT participants. The Reliant LT Admin will manually add all accepted interns to the LT program registration.
LT Job Description
One issue we’ve run into in the past with LT interns is collecting a job description for them. Our process is to collect a job description from them when they attend the support-raising training in January. But that is often before they’ve talked with the LT director about any specifics of their roles and before the director knows what their summer LT leadership team will look like.
We’ve created a template that your LT program could use each year; they can adjust it later in the year, if needed based on more accurate specific info, but this would give us a good base, especially because a lot of the LT interns share similar job descriptions.
LT Volunteer Interns
A Volunteer Intern is one who interns at LT but is not employed by Reliant. Another term for it might be Associate Intern.
- Application: LT Volunteer Interns can apply using the Reliant Associate application found here.
Submission Deadline: 2-3 months before LT begins
This allows the LT Program to acquire housing for this intern since they are not a YMCA employee.
Training:
- Volunteer Intern candidates complete minimal compliance requirements for Reliant before they can begin volunteering for the program.
- Volunteer interns are not, however, required to attend a full Reliant training.
Caleb Hayworth will be your main point of contact for the intern application process.
