 Detailed information about the application and host organization requirements may be found in our application guide.  Applications are judged according to the impact of the proposed project, the quality of the host organization, and the individual candidate, taking into account factors such as adequacy of supervision, innovation of the project, groundwork laid, and sustainability of the project.  Interviews will be conducted nationwide throughout the fall and winter, and offers will be extended on a rolling basis.
