Goals in connecting a CYAK Intern with a church or ministry:
*Developing  young adults into future Alaskan church leaders through immersion into a ministry experience that will help them discern and prepare for their next step in ministry/vocation.
*Developing a mentoring relationship between the intern and the supervising pastor or ministry leader.
*A healthy setting, which provides constructive evaluation of the intern as well as space for spiritual growth.
*A financial arrangement that does not create a hardship for the intern. The local church and the intern agree on housing, stipend, goals, time off and general expectations before the internship begins.

Expectations for the CYAK Intern (can be customized for church or ministry needs):
*At least 10-20 hours of service committed to the church or ministry per week.
*Meet weekly with a pastor or ministry leader for prayer, spiritual direction and growth, consultation, encouragement and guidance.
*Check in daily with the supervisor for review, assignments and feedback.
*Send monthly ministry updates to info@cyak.org, participate in CYAK Team Conference Calls, trainings, serve at regional youth events.

Expectations for the local church or ministry:
*Provide clear and well-defined ministry responsibilities for the intern (i.e. job description).
*Provide a clear start date and end date for the internship.
*Provide a pastor or ministry leader to meet weekly with the intern for prayer, spiritual direction and growth, consultation, encouragement and guidance, availability in answering questions.
*Determine with CYAK who the intern supervisor will be and the supervisor will check in daily with the intern to provide job direction, clarification, assignments and goals.
*Conduct mid term assessment and evaluation with the intern and send to CYAK.
*Conduct end of term assessment and evaluation with intern and send to CYAK.
