Application Process

 

The application process helps AJWS staff assess which applicants match the resource needs of our partner NGOs. Please note, while applicants may be highly qualified within their profession, their skills may not meet our partner NGOs’ current needs.

AJWS assesses an applicant's compatibility with the program through a written application, interview and references.

If you have volunteered with AJWS Volunteer Corps before and would like to participate again, please contact us for more information. Please e-mail us or call Andrea Richardson, Program Officer, at 212.792.2888 for more information.
