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. 20). 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 (Sarah Swann) 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 L T LT director about any specifics of their roles and before the director knows what their summer LT leadership team will look like.

 We’ve 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. They will go through the same application process as regular LT applicants (on events.reliant.org) however they will be asked to receive a background check as well as signing a few more additional forms than required by the normal LT applicant due to the role the volunteer will have with added leadership and responsibility within the program.  Those additional forms include the sexual harassment policy, code of conduct, statement of faith, and a statement acknowledging that they are not receiving medical insurance, workers compensation or other benefits. 

• Application: Since the volunteer intern will be using the same application as regular LT applicants, the LT director will need to email the Reliant summer program coordinator (Sarah) to let them know that a volunteer intern is applying. Due to liability reasons, all LT interns (including those that do not wish to be hired as a Reliant employee) will need to fill out an LT application prior to arrival at LT and will not be able to begin volunteering until the background check has been completed.  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
  • Fee: The application fee is $50. This goes to off-set the costs to run background checks. If the director chooses they may request to add an event program fee for the LT volunteer to pay as well.  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.
