Evermore Corps Intake Form

Evermore Corps

Application

Thank you for applying to Evermore Corps.

Evermore Corps is a select group of civic-minded individuals working to advance better systems, policies, and practices for bereaved people across America. This is our first cohort, and we're looking for people who share a passion for our mission and values.

The form below will help us get to know you better. You don't need a fully formed idea or a formal title to apply; what we're looking for is civic leadership, a willingness to follow the evidence, and alignment with Evermore's values. If that sounds like you, we're glad you're here.

Plan on about an hour to complete this application. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. If you have any questions, you can contact hello@evermore.org.

Section 1: Why This, Why You?

Tell us about a moment.

Describe a specific time you saw a challenge — in your community, your workplace, or your own life — and chose to stand up, speak out, or take action. What was the challenge, what did you choose to do, and what happened? (300 words maximum)

0/300

What does leadership mean to you?

You don't need a title or formal authority to answer this — in fact, most of us don't have a fancy title or a legion of people reporting to us. Tell us about a time you took responsibility for something you deeply believed in and had to step forward and lead. (300 words maximum)

0/300

Tell us about a risk.

Describe a time you did something brave, or acted without knowing how it would turn out. This can be a success or a failure — we've all had both. What did you do, and what did you learn? (300 words maximum)

0/300

Tell us about working alongside someone.

Describe a time you worked with someone else toward a shared outcome — where the effort depended on both of you, not just you. (300 words maximum)

0/300

Evermore's work is grounded in five core values: Just, Respectful, Evidence-informed, Innovative, and Trustworthy.

These aren't necessarily words you'd use to describe your own personal values — and that's fine. Tell us about an experience, personal or professional, that connects to one or more of these values, and why. (300 words maximum)

0/300

What draws you to bereavement care specifically?

What experiences or perspectives have shaped your interest in this work? (300 words maximum)

0/300

What's your pilot project idea?

Innovation is one of Evermore's five values, and Corps is a chance to put it into practice. In a few sentences, describe a change you'd like to pursue: what would better bereavement care look like for your people, your institution, your community, or society? You don't need a fully-built plan — just a vision worth pursuing. (300 words maximum)

Are you able to commit to monthly virtual check-ins (up to 3 hours/month) for the full year following training?

Would cost be a barrier to your participation? A limited number of scholarships are available. This question helps us know who to reach out to.
