PART 4: Submit Your Application
The nal and most important step in applying is actually submitting your application to your
listing of choice. When you are done with the application you need to submit it to each
opportunity that you are interested in.
Follow these steps to submit your application:
1. Click "Search Listings" and navigate to your preferred program listing. Alternatively, you
can head to the "My Favorites" section of your prole or use the browser bookmark you
created in Part 1: Find Your Fit to locate any opportunities you had agged for yourself.
2. Click on the program name for your preferred AmeriCorps opportunity.
3. Review the program description and click "Apply Now" at the bottom of the page. If you do
not see the "Apply Now" option in the listing, it may be because you do not meet the age
requirements to serve with that program, or because you do not have a complete application
in the system. See page 24 of this guide for tips on how to tell if your application is complete.
• Verify the application that will be used – it is listed below "submit listing" at the top of
the certication screen
• Read the certication and select one of the option buttons
• Click "Submit"
Note: Some programs may require you to answer additional questions before you can
submit your application to their listings. If this is the case, you'll need to respond to those
questions in one sitting; you will not be able to save and return. It's a good idea to give
yourself plenty of time to complete this nal step.
4. You will receive an email conrmation that your application has been submitted.
