   Youth Internship Program 

The FamilySearch Center in Ogden, Utah is offering an internship program for youth interested in Family History work.


 * The purpose of the internship program is to give youth an opportunity to learn and better understand family history work and to use their skills in the service of others. This internship program is designed for youth ages 12-18. The purpose of this program is to teach family history skills that will enable the interns to do genealogical and family history work and to be able to assist others in this work.


 * As an intern, each youth will serve side-by-side with experienced FamilySearch missionaries in learning genealogical research techniques. Besides demonstrating their newly learned skills, they will also gain confidence in working with patrons to solve family history problems.


 * The internship involves a minimum requirement of two (2) hours per week for eight weeks or four (4) hours per week for four weeks (16 total hours minimum). There will be some required activities and skills to pass off as part of the experience. Participants will be able to choose which shifts they want to serve, subject to availability.  We realize youth are generally very busy and therefore conflicts may arise with the youth’s work or school schedule.  In that situation, the intern will be able to schedule another session on a different day in order to complete their training.


 * Before completing their online application, each youth should consult with their parents to determine if they qualify for the program, possess the proper maturity level, and have parental support. After submission of the application, each applicant will be notified by email and will also receive a letter concerning their internship.


 * We have a limited number of positions available, so if you are aware of interested youth, please encourage them to reserve an internship spot soon.


 * You may call or visit the Ogden FamilySearch Center to complete and submit an application. You can also attach the completed application to an email [mailto:toninowland@gmail.com click here].
