How do I start an internship program in our student ministry?
Our youth group has grown considerably in the past few years and I think we are in a position where we could be a good experience for a college student studying youth ministry. I am open to the idea of creating an internship position, but worry that it will be creating more work for myself (when in reality I hope that it would alleviate some of the work and give a younger minister a chance for hands-on learning). So:
1) What does your internship program look like?
2) How do you make it mutually beneficial for the student and the ministry?
3) What are the best things we can do for an intern to make it worthwhile (already planning to pay them some).

If you are doing it correctly it will create more work for you. An internship is an investment into the life of the intern and therefore adds one more thing to your plate. Do not start an internship if you can not devote the time and energy. Just my .02 |

If you are located near a Christian college/seminary, I'd start by talking to them. I had to do two internships while in Seminary and the school was a great help to both myself & the churches I worked with. To answer your questions specifically: |
