Student feedback has been very encouraging:
“Study was intimidating for me based on
my high school experience. I now feel confident I
could study toward anything I wanted to”
“Building a team is one of the top things I
have enjoyed about my time doing the internship.
Working with people . . . within the framework of

beginning if the internship it was just myself and
one other leading the youth ministry. Now we

unique opportunity for disciples of all ages and
academic abilities to be involved in something
for themselves and ultimately for serving and
empowering many. ALC has been the starting
