This program is available to all, without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, political affiliation, or religion.

Note: The nature of our work is demanding mentally and emotionally, and may bring up past experiences or mental health problems that could be difficult to address in a healthy way while living in community. Applicants should be coming from a state of mental and emotional resilience, including the ability to deal with high levels of stress. We ask all applicants to consider the effects that an immersive year of service could have on their physical, mental, and emotional health before committing to a year of service.

After reviewing your application materials, we will inform you if we would like to schedule a virtual interview.
