Application
When will you be available to serve? (check all that apply)
Which program you would like to help direct?
If your program meets off-campus, do you have a way to get there?
Student leadership positions at BYU are reserved for full-time, matriculated students. (Part-time and FlexGE students are welcome to participate in all service programs, clubs, activities and events.) Will you be enrolled as a matriculated, full-time student during the time you are planning on being a Program Director?
Do you have at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA, and are you willing to maintain it?
Are you willing to commit to uphold the University's Honor Code and Dress and Grooming Standards?
Have you previously served as a Y-Serve volunteer?
Are you planning to take the "Learning through Service" Class (StDev 290)? (Optional)
Please answer the following questions. We suggest that you save your answers in a separate document so you'll have the information to copy and paste into the application in case there is a glitch when you submit the form.
As a Program Director, I agree to attend the events and fulfill the responsibilities listed above.
I give my permission to include my phone number on the program's webpage.
On each of Y-Serve's program webpages there is contact information - the program's email address as well as the list of the leaders' names and some of their phone numbers. The public has access to the information, but the phone numbers are generally used by volunteers who text the leaders to get more information about how to get involved. Having your phone number on the webpage is not a requirement to be a program leader.
I authorize the verification of my academic and Honor Code status for the purpose of completing Y-Serve's volunteer application.
