Applications are not considered complete without all of the information requested.
1. Applicant Information: Remember, the Parent/Guardian signature is required for your application to be considered complete.
2. References: To complete the application process, you need at least three references. The three required references are your pastor, your Acteens leader, and your state WMU student consultant. If any of these are family members, please provide an alternate reference like a church leader who knows you well (youth minister, Sunday School teacher, etc.) When you submit this application you will receive a link for the reference form. It is your responsibility to provide this link to each of your references and ensure they submit the recommendation by the November 15, 2024 application deadline. Their responses and comments will be helpful to the selection committee in evaluating your application. The references themselves are responsible for submitting their recommendations to national WMU.
3. Questions and Essays: The Questions and Essays will tell the National Acteens Panel selection committee about you, your time in Acteens, your involvement in missions, and other information.
4. Applicant Photo: Submit a recent, high-quality, color photo of yourself. Should you be selected as a National Acteens Panelist, this photo will be used on the WMU website and social media, and in press releases to Baptist Press and state Baptist newspapers. You will want to look nice in this photo (no candid shots or sports portraits). Photo MUST be high resolution (select the highest resolution setting on your phone/camera). For a digital photo to be high res, it needs to be at least 1mb. AND when you attach the photo to an email, select largest file size if given the option.
5. Submit all of your application material on or before November 15, 2024!
