How do I complete an application?

Once you found an opportunity that interests you, you must complete the application to be considered as a candidate for such opportunity. To apply for a project, click on the "Apply" button located at the bottom of the Project Description Page. The application process consists of nine steps including: employment history, skills and experience information, community service information, education information, motivational statement, criminal history, optional information, references, and certification form. If you are applying for a team leader position, you must make sure to fill out the team leader application, which requires the completion of additional information. You must provide complete and accurate information for each step.

Ensure that you hit the "Next" button at the bottom of the screen before proceeding to the next step, otherwise information entered will be LOST.

You may also request a paper application by calling AmeriCorps at 1-800-942-2677.
