How much time will it take?

Each program is different.  The application process can take anywhere from a few days to a month due to the differences among our opportunities.  Programs working with youth or other vulnerable positions may take long as they may require a background check.  However, most positions have a simple application and orientation process.   Click on the link for our easy on-line application that is sufficient for the majority of programs.
