Support Raising Retention Among Interns/STINTers
- Apply by March 1
- Hear re: acceptance by April 1
- Attend an Intern training weekend in mid-April

- First goal – 15% of support in hand by June 1 (soft deadline)
- July 1 – 50%
- Finish support raising by August 1 (which is a pretty hard deadline – if you’re not at 100%Â by August 1, you typically can’t Intern/STINT)
- Report to campus early August
Additionally, there are 132 new Part-time Field Staff currently out there being coached as they develop ministry partners.
