Meet with Prospective Intern

Meet with your prospective intern and plan the details of the internship. Use the Guided Ministry Internship Information Form as your guide and have the student fill out the form as you go. The schedule should consist of 8-10 hours weekly up to 120 hours total (planning meetings, mentoring, service, etc.)(See also Conference Ideas for Guided Ministry Internships).
