How to Apply
Application
The application will take around 15 minutes to complete, and will ask you for contact info, information about your education and work experiences, AmeriCorps eligibility confirmation, and site preferences. Our application does not require a resume, cover letter, or references, however host sites may request these during the site placement process (more info on site placement below).

The interview is an opportunity for us to get to know you and for you to get to know us! Be prepared, and take a look at our interview questions ahead of time!
