A high school diploma is required. A college degree is necessary for some positions. Service varies from non-skilled to skilled placements depending on needs. Spanish is required for service in Tijuana and is also useful to some placements in US as well. There is an Orientation, three retreats throughout the year and days of recollection.
Volunteers are responsible for transportation to and from the site of service.
In addition, Year Long volunteers are eligible for student loan deferment and the AmeriCorps Education Award. We accept on a rolling basis through the end of July. However, the sooner you apply, the wider the choice of service opportunities you will have. If you have any questions, please feel free to telephone me at the above number.
