LT Fee Info
- LT Directors, be prepared to give Reliant the LT fee payment amount for interns during our Hiring Decision Call with you (by Dec 16)by December 16. This fee is necessary to calculate their support goal.
- LT interns do not pay for 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 Staff and Intern Event Payments. (see Event Fee Payments Made by Reliant Employee).
- The LT intern's application with Reliant (from go.reliant.org) serves also reliant-collegiate-program.breezy.hr) also serves as their LT participation application. They do no not need to also fill out an LT Participation application like the other LT participants. The Reliant summer program coordinator The Reliant LT Admin will manually add all accepted interns into 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.

Interns
A Volunteer Intern is one who interns at LT , but does not raise supportis not employed by Reliant. Another term for it might be Associate Intern. They will go through the same interview process as regular interns, receive a background check and will be added to Reliant's liability insurance. They will not be able to raise support in any way.
- Application: LT Volunteer Interns can apply using the Reliant Associate application found hereApplication: Due to liability reasons, all LT interns (including those that do not wish to raise support) must go through the same Reliant application as paid interns. Volunteer LT Interns will not be hired, but will receive an assessment and approval or deferral. Fee: The application fee is $49. This goes to off-set our costs to run background checks.
Submission Deadline:
Since they will not be attending Intern Training, Volunteer Intern candidates must submit their application at least 6 weeks before the church/applicant needs to know if the applicant has been approved by Reliant as an LT Volunteer Intern. (NOTE: This is not 6 weeks before the LT start-date. It is 6 weeks before you/the applicant need to know if they're approved to intern at LT.) Six weeks will give time for Local Interviews to be performed, background checks to be run, Reliant Reviews done and an "approved" or "not approved" decision to be made by Reliant leadership. The church must notify the applicant. Submitting an application consists of: Completing all the required materials in the "Documentation Phase" on Reliant's Assessment Hub; including all application forms, all references and pay the application fee.- Interview with Local Leadership: We ask churches to complete the Local Interview within 2 weeks of the applicant submitting their documentation.
- Training: Volunteer interns are not required to attend intern training.
Kate Pendola and Keva Ambre will be your main points of contact this year for the intern application process.
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 interns are not, however, required to attend a full Reliant training.
