The intern will work through the DYM in planning and executing events, taking the leadership role if the DYM is away. Intern will have flexibility and ownership in the devising of the activities. Intern may or may not act as an Advisor on one conference trip during the summer, based on need and the decision of the Youth Director. Intern will take an active role in the Middle School mission week, working with that planning team in the execution of the event, and will travel with the group for a day of water fun. Intern will be expected to be present on Sunday mornings for Worship and Sunday School, possibly taking teaching responsibilities.

The intern is expected to develop relationships with the youth and their families, and to use their particular gifts creatively in ways that we cannot foresee.
