Get to know your applicant before in-person interviews

The Washington Reading Corps (WRC) uses this checklist when conducting phone interviews of applicants. It helps them track whether applicants:

• Meet the basic requirements for national service
• Have appropriate expectations for their service term
• Have the necessary skills and experience

The Serve America Act identifies requirements for tutors and tutoring programs. For example, in general, the law requires AmeriCorps members who serve as tutors to have a high school diploma.

WRC provides tutoring services and collaborates with community partners to improve student achievement. It uses VISTA and AmeriCorps members in team placements.
