Recruitment Process/Resources1.) Qualified applicants are contacted by YiA staff regarding their application and general information about AmeriCorps will be discussed. This may be done over the phone or in person.
2.) Once an applicant is screened by our staff this application will be forwarded to the mentor site and will undergo their screening process. If there is more than one qualified application for an assignment, priority consideration will be given to the first qualified applicant received. Each applicant will be considered on its own merit, this is not a competitive process.
3) Then, applicants are interviewed by their chosen AmeriCorps assignment site (s). If the member and mentor agree this is a good fit then we move to step #4.
4) The new AmeriCorps member attends our orientation and then begins their assignment.
