All LT interns must go through Reliant whether they are raising support or simply volunteering their summer as a leader at LT.
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 26, 2023.

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.
Here's how you can tell your students to prep for intern training! Preparing for January Intern Training

Interns
Due to liability reasons all LT interns including those that do not wish to raise support must go through our Reliant intern application. These volunteer interns will not attend intern training. They will simply be applying to be considered an Volunteer LT intern. The application fee is $50. They will go through the same interview process as regular interns, receive a background check and they will be added to Reliant's liability insurance. They will not be able to raise support in any way. Since they will not be attending Intern Training the deadline for signing up as a Volunteer LT intern is submitting all required materials for the documentation phase of their intern application 6 weeks prior to the date that they will be arriving at LT. However, once the intern submits their application we ask that the churches complete the local interview for the applicant within 2 weeks of the applicant submitting their documentation.
Kate Pendola and Keva Ambre will be your main points of contact this year for the intern application process.
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.
