VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION APPLICATIONS

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

Winston S. Churchill

British Statesman & Prime Minister

Choosing to become a volunteer is an honorable and rewarding decision.

 

Whether you are hoping to travel abroad to volunteer for an esteemed international organization such as the U.S. Peace Corps or Doctors Without Borders or work closer to home in a prestigious local organization such as Habitat for Humanity or Earthwatch Institute, a well-articulated application essay is usually a required part of the application process.

 

Volunteering with these organizations is typically quite competitive, and that's why an application essay isn't just a formality but a vital element that can set you apart from the multitude of applicants.

 

Keep in mind: Application essays are not just a gateway to showcase your genuine passion and commitment to the volunteer cause. Even as a volunteer applicant, presenting an application essay with proper grammar and spelling is essential; an unprofessional submission can hint at a lack of dedication, insufficient preparation, or even undermine the respect for the volunteer organization and its objectives.

​

I specialize in helping you create application essays that resonate with sincerity and distinction and capture your passion for the cause in a way that is both professional and heartening, ensuring your application statement stands out from the rest.
