Completing and submitting the Volunteer Application
Apply early!
Volunteer applications must be submitted by March 15, 2020. However, the volunteer spots will likely be filled before March 15, since we use a rolling admission process for our volunteers and we review the volunteer applications as we receive them. We have a limited number of volunteer spots, so once the volunteer spots are full we will create a waiting list.
It is not possible to save and resume your application form, so you might like to preview the application questions by clicking on this link. (When responding to each Statement of Interest question, you will be given the choice of either uploading a file or typing your response into a text box.)
After you submit your application, you should receive an e-mail confirmation that contains your responses. If you don’t receive this e-mail, you may e‑mail gie@berkeley.edu to confirm that we received your application.
If you have questions or need assistance with the application, please email gie@berkeley.edu.
