LTIA is changing the world and shaping the future with relevant Christian leadership applying a fully integrated Biblical world view. We seek to accomplish this by equipping Christians with training and opportunities to excel in leadership.
The LTIA intern program is a continuation of Biblical world view training including assisting LTIA staff during the conference week as well as in preparation for the conference and for post conference responsibilities. LTIA interns may also qualify for staff positions to help LTIA broaden its ministry and for conference staff positions as they are needed.
LTIA focuses on five areas of development: 1) leadership integrity and efficiency, 2) critical thinking skills, 3) worldview apologetics, 4) network influence, and 5) community involvement. LTIA interns accept the responsibility to train themselves to role model and mentor students in each of these five areas. Self initiative is an important quality in the LTIA staff.
Interns should seek to gain practical knowledge and skills as leaders to apply BWV knowledge into real world experience. Interns should ask LTIA staff for assistance and personal mentoring. A successful internship will give you invaluable experience and training in developing BWV leadership skills.
Responsibilities will be assigned before and throughout the conference week. These will be to help you in leadership skills for 1) role modeling, 2) mentoring others, and 3) problem solving.
Responsibilities
