Internships
During the academic term, students spend four hours per week for ten weeks (forty hours per semester) engaged in hands-on, practical ministry. Students are assigned a mentor from a local congregation or service organization who gives direction and encouragement to the student. Together, student and mentor set learning goals, and at the end of the semester, student and mentor evaluate the internship experience.

Internship Agreement and Contract
Mentors and interns complete Internship Agreement and Contract Model together. It is due at the beginning of the Fall semester. The intern is responsible for turning the contract in on time.
