The Application Process:
GrizzlyCorps opens the Priority Fellowship Application in February of each year, followed by the Regular Application. Depending on the year, GrizzlyCorps may open a Late Application after our regular recruitment cycle ends for specific projects.
Our application includes a series of questions addressing AmeriCorps eligibility, education, and work history, professional or academic references, as well as questions addressing your skills, interests, and experience relating to GrizzlyCorps focus areas and projects. The application also calls for three short essay responses on key topics about your background and interests relative to GrizzlyCorps.
GrizzlyCorps staff review applicants after each application deadline. Candidates who move past the review stage will then participate in two interviews with GrizzlyCorps staff and interviews with host site partners. All candidates have the opportunity to state which regions and projects they are most interested in or willing to serve for the year. GrizzlyCorps host sites are announced each year in April.
During the application cycle, GrizzlyCorps staff support candidates through virtual information sessions and interview guides. In addition, all questions asked during GrizzlyCorps interviews are always sent to candidates ahead of the interview.
