I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at City Year (Milwaukee, WI) in Sep 2015
Interview
The interview itself was pretty informal, was over skype. Was a series of questions just asking for response. Make sure to have 1-2 questions at the end for when they say do you have any questions for us. First you apply fill out short answer response questions then if you get past that round they email you a list of potential matches you rank them. Then you will get matched with one place and then interview specifically to that one place you'll hear back in about a weeks time yes or no. Then you have approximately 2-3 weeks to decide yes or no. The earlier deadline the better for applying as more options are available especially if you are wanting to be in a specific location.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what is one time that you showed leadership while working with young people?
Very simple. Quick virtual interview and pretty simple questions. Research their values and what not and you should be good to go. As far as I remember it was a single interview and decision is relatively soon after that.
Really friendly and welcoming. Try to make it as comfortable as possible and share about the work they do. They want to ensure applicants are making the right decisions and that they assess the values.
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at City Year
Interview
Done over zoom and not an overly long process interviews are usually conducted by the IM for a school in the city you are applying for but if you have a pulse you should be fine
