Support Local Achievements: Volunteer to Review Applications

Each year, we rely on volunteers to help review more than 500 applications. By dedicating your time, you’ll play a vital role in supporting our community and its members.

The evaluation process is entirely online and requires only a personal computer to participate. Volunteers can be professionals from any discipline or sector.

Requirements:

Age: Must be at least 23 years old.
Connection to LaGrange County: Volunteers should live, work, or have strong ties to the LaGrange County community.
Availability: Must have 3-4 hours available to review applications during a 2-week period in March 2025.
Compliance: All volunteers are required to sign a Conflict of Interest Form and a Confidentiality Policy to ensure impartiality and protect sensitive information.

What to Expect

Volunteers will evaluate applications based on the following criteria:

The applicant’s record of academic and personal achievement.
The applicant’s record of community service and engagement.
The recommendation provided by an academic or professional contact.
The substance and quality of writing in the essay and application.

This is a meaningful opportunity
