Apply to Serve
Interested in applying with us? First, do your research by thoroughly exploring this website, familiarizing yourself with our positions, qualifications, and other things to consider, and then read below for a step-by-step guide to our application process.
Our next service term starts August 29th, 2012. Please apply if you are interested!
Apply
- Find our program listing on the my.americorps.gov website and fill out an application. Provide two professional references.
- Make sure your references are complete.
- Acceptable references include: work supervisors, volunteer supervisors, teachers, counselors, clergy, or coaches
- Unacceptable references include: family members, peers, classmates, or friends
- The short answer parts of the application have a maximum possible length of 2,000 characters.
- The maximum possible length for the Motivational Statement is 3,000 characters.
- Be sure to save often as the system tends to log you out after 15 minutes.
- It may be a good idea to "cut and paste" your answers from a word processing document
Review
- All applications will be scored using a standardized scoring system. A staff member will contact you within 10 days to confirm that your application has been received.
- At that time, you will also be informed of the results of your score. If all goes well, we will ask you to fill out a Pre-Interview Packet and Questionnaire ("PIPQ"). Please complete and return this via email to gettingthingsdone@intermountainac.com.
- Your PIPQ will be reviewed. A staff member will contact you to further discuss the Intermountain program. Again, if all goes well we will ask you to continue in the application process.
Interview
- Applicants who have met the necessary requirements and demonstrated the correct motivations for serving an AmeriCorps term will be interviewed. Out-of-state applicants will be given a phone interview; local applicants will be interviewed in a face-to-face setting.
- If, after the interview, we feel you are a good fit for our program and you believe our program to be a good fit for you, then we will set up an interview with your primary site of interest.
- Placement is not guaranteed. We will do all in our power to place quality applicants.
Enrollment
- Acceptance and Placement! Congratulations!
