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. The application deadline is November 27th, 2022.
Below is a sample email you could use to send to a potential LT intern.

Hi (student), We are so thankful to see how God has been using you this year. We wonder if you would like to take the next step toward leadership in the ministry. How about spending your summer interning with us at [church or program name]? Here’s some more info about our intern program (insert link). You’ll get practice in raising support and what it looks and feels like to be in full-time ministry. For many of you, this is a solid next step to help you decide if you want to come work with us at [church name]. Think it might be fun? We are accepting applications NOW. It’s good to go ahead and start your application even if you haven’t made up your mind yet about interning. Things to know:
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions. If you need help with the application, contact Caleb at Reliant at LT@reliant.org. He's happy to lend a hand! Looking forward to spending the summer serving with you! |

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 Refresh application found here.
Fee: The LT for which the applicant is applying will be charged for the background check. If the director chooses they may request to add an event program fee for the LT volunteer to pay as well (it is typically the same cost as the participants pay for LT). That fee will be manually added to their event registration based on the director's request. The director/finance administrator will also receive an invoice from the summer program coordinator to approve for the cost of the background check to be charged to their LT event fund.
Submission Deadline: Since they will not be attending Intern Training, Volunteer Intern candidates must submit their application within enough time to take and receive the results of the background check back before they can begin volunteering for the program (usually a few weeks).
- Training: Volunteer interns are not required to attend intern training.
Caleb Hayworth will be your main point of contact for the intern application process.
He is here to help if you run into any snags or questions. We’re working hard to make assessing your interns as seamless and easy as possible. So, let us know if something could be improved!
