About the role

A Youth Ministry Intern helps prepare activities, welcome young people, support volunteers and keep sessions safe and organised. The panel wants to hear how you relate respectfully to young people, follow safeguarding procedures and turn a simple objective into an engaging activity.

How to prepare

  1. Review basic safeguarding principles and the steps you would take to report a concern.
  2. Prepare an example of helping a group participate in an activity or discussion.
  3. Draft a short youth activity with a clear objective, materials list and backup option.
  4. Think of a time you received instructions from several people and clarified priorities.
  5. Practise explaining how you would maintain professional boundaries with young people.

Common mistakes

  • Promising to keep a safeguarding concern secret.
  • Planning activities without considering different ages, abilities or confidence levels.
  • Focusing only on enthusiasm and not on preparation, boundaries or follow-through.
  • Giving vague examples that do not show what you personally did.
