The CYMT accomplishes this vision by partnering with local congregations who need youth directors or who are seeking training for their current youth staff. There are two types of church partnerships described below: Partner Church A Partner Church is a church seeking one of our Student Interns to serve as their youth director for the next two years. The commitment is a two-year partnership that combines veteran youth ministry coaching with an energetic student intern to lead your youth ministry. The CYMT is currently accepting applications for the 2007-09 partner churches. 6 churches will be accepted to the program that will provide each church:
Church Commitment In exchange for receiving staffing and coaching for building an effective youth ministry, each partner church agrees to a commitment of $20,000 in the first year and $25,000 in the second year paid to the Center for Youth Ministry Training. This commitment will cover student stipends and all training expenses. Churches are also expected to provide housing for their student intern.
