Don't waste your time - because they'll sure waste yours. I spent over SEVEN MONTHS waiting and waiting and waiting for them to move forward with the application process. They'd mail me a letter, or an email, saying they're still reviewing my information. And another month or two would pass. Seriously? How long does it take to read the results of a background check and call a few references? Finally, after six months, they call me in for a two-hour interview. I've been a nanny, and have multitudes of other experiences with children - and I gave them numerous references. My background is spotless, and I go to church every Sunday. I'm a full time student finishing my bachelors, taking online courses - so my schedule is wide open. A month later they mail me a letter saying they can't accept me into the program - but won't tell me why. Um, excuse me - but I think I have the right to know why they rejected me. I'm pretty frustrated that an organization who desperately needs volunteers is throwing out a perfectly good candidate. I think it's very sad for the kids in their program who are desperately waiting for a mentor in life. I'm going to go volunteer at some of the women's and children's shelters, where I know I'll be needed and appreciated making a difference in someone's life. read more
