The
Internship Program of NCYM offers a wide variety of training and
development opportunities. Many interns work with youth or children at
local meetings within the Yearly Meeting. There are also opportunities
to gain experience in pastoral ministry or missions. Often an intern
will try his or her hand at various avenues of ministry, providing a
broader experience which may aid in the discernment process.
For
those monthly meetings or other service sites who request an
intern, the Program may provide additional leadership needed in a
particular area of ministry, or help to open the door for starting a
new
ministry or outreach.

Becoming
an Intern . . .
If
you are interested in becoming an intern, here are some things for you
to consider. As an intern, you will be able to:
gain insight into your spiritual gifts
and calling through both training and hands on experience
make a difference in the lives of others
by sharing God's love
grow and stretch your own spiritual life
serve part-time while you work or go to
school
minister at a monthly meeting or mission
site within or
outside of the United States
As
an intern, you would serve for a term of at least 8
weeks totaling at least 160 hours. Interns are responsible
for keeping up with
their hours and attending regularly scheduled meetings for worship,
Bible study, and/or the gathering of specific groups of your work
(children, youth, seniors, etc.). They provide proper
promotional
information and a calendar of events related to their work at the
service site. Regular meetings with the pastor or other mentor at the
site are also a priority. Interns are expected to attend Yearly Meeting
sessions and to encourage participation in Yearly Meeting activities
from their service site.
For
those monthly meetings or other service sites who request an
intern, the Program may provide additional leadership needed in a
particular area of ministry, or help to open the door for starting a
new
ministry or outreach.
