Why do you want to be a Democracy Coach? What excites you about this particular position?:

Please write about one or two experiences which you feel have best prepared you for being a GC Democracy Coach.:

Your class chooses to focus their attention on homelessness and has set a goal to reduce the number of homeless people in the city.
One of their objectives includes hosting a coat drive to collect coats for the homeless in their neighborhood. What are your initial reactions to their plan and how to guide/improve it?:

What are your other commitments? (Examples include classes, clubs, familial obligations, jobs, etc.) How will you commit to the 5-7 hours per week required to successfully fulfill the expectations of this position, including class attendance, trainings, and lesson planning?:

Anything else you want us to know?:

Your schedule. Please closely follow the guidelines below to give us your schedule. If you do not know your schedule yet, just leave the fields blank.
However, the sooner you commit to a time, the better your chance of being placed.

1. Only indicate your availability between 7am and 4pm. Remember, school hours are a little different from college hours. Even if you're free at 6pm, we won't be able to place you in a school at that time.
2. Mornings are awesome! Schools start early so we encourage you to include any mornings where you could come to an early class (using that magic combination of caffeine and your excitement about working with students!)
3. Include blocks of at least two hours. Most of our classes meet twice per week for 1 hour. Because you will travel to-and-from schools, we are looking for free blocks of at least 2 hours of your time. The more the merrier! (3 and 4 hour windows highly preferred.)
4. Please DO NOT add in travel time. Give us all of your availability, and we will be certain to factor travel time into your placement.
