I applied online. I interviewed at City Year (Pittsburgh, PA) in Apr 2022
Interview
First you submit and application and then headquarters lets you know which location they think you would best serve in. Then they schedule you for a phone interview. They explain the program and ask why you are interested in serving in public schools. They also ask specific diversity, equity, belonging, and inclusion questions. Such as what does equity nd diversity mean to you? The interview lasts for around 40mins to an hour. They will then email you to let you know if you have been accepted in 1-2 weeks.

Interview
I filled out the online application then I got an email, scheduling a phone interview. It lasted for almost an hour I want to say. Then I heard back within a week that I got the job. I didn't meet anyone in person until registration day, which is when they collect your identification pretty much.
