AAKP teams are recruited each year from colleges, universities, seminaries, and churches. Team members are either current or previous students in the arts and have a desire to utilize their gifts to communicate the good news of Jesus Christ. Interns receive pre-production training and team building, discipleship accountability, and on-going intern training throughout the summer.

Prospective interns undergo a thorough application process consisting of questionnaires, a personal interview, a pastoral recommendation, a professional recommendation, and a background check.
