Both parts of this application are due at noon on Monday, April 22, 2013.

Part One will be completed online.
Part Two of the application is due via email to Grinnellinprison@grinnell.edu, also at noon on April 22nd.
We will do our best to make decisions as soon as possible after receiving applications. All volunteers who are applying to teach must fill out both parts of the form.

You may collaboratively work on and submit part two with your co-teacher, but please fill out the online form (part one) separately.

Please provide a number where we can reach you at short notice
Orientations

You must attend the orientation at the institution where you wish to volunteer, even if you've already completed orientation at another institution. You cannot begin volunteering until after you have been through orientation.

Session

Classes at the prison occur in two sessions. You can teach during either session, or, if there is enough room, during both sessions if you'd like a longer course.

  • Session one (six weeks) will begin the week after school starts and go through midsems week. (This option is only available if you and your teaching partner have completed orientation before the start of the fall semester)
     
  • Session two (six weeks) will begin the week after Fall Break and go through the week before exams.

Please note that we will be working on teaching schedules on an individual basis, so these dates may not be exact.

Please also note that the prisons can host a limited number of classes each semester. For the best chance at being able to teach, apply for both sessions.
