Applicant Eligibility

This page outlines the eligibility requirements for volunteering at Schoolhouse. While specific roles may have unique criteria, we provide universal guidelines to ensure transparency in our selection process.

Universal Requirements:

Each volunteer role will have unique eligibility requirements tailored to its responsibilities and objectives.

Previous volunteer experience at or outside of Schoolhouse may be considered when evaluating your application for some roles, particularly leadership positions.

Community members can only hold one role on a team at a time.

Applicants currently in high school who have not yet applied to college will receive preference, as part of our commitment to supporting community members applying to college. Please note that this preference does not apply to volunteer roles related to College Advice or the Tutoring Operations co-lead role.

Max Number of Volunteer Teams

Community members are limited to serving on a maximum of two volunteer teams concurrently, regardless of their position within those teams. For community members currently on more than two teams, this policy will not be enacted retroactively i.e. you can continue to serve on more than two teams.

Limit on Co-Lead Terms:

Each community member is capped at serving for a maximum of two co-lead terms during their tenure at Schoolhouse. This is effective January 2024 and onward.

Co-lead terms served on teams that were disbanded do not count towards your co-lead limit.

Diversity and Inclusivity:

We value diversity of thought and aim to provide volunteer opportunities to as many community members as possible. To achieve this, preference may be given to applicants who have served on four or fewer Schoolhouse volunteer teams, regardless of their position within the teams. Applicants who have experience on official volunteer teams that have dissolved should note this in their application so it can be considered.

Exclusions:

Roles that are part of the tutor growth path (not including the moderator role) on Schoolhouse and/or directly related to supporting a Schoolhouse structured offering, such as volunteer roles associated with the SAT Bootcamp, will not be counted in or toward any eligibility policies for volunteering.

Coaches do not count toward the 2 team limit per term.

Exceptions:

In rare circumstances, a product team supervisor may make an eligibility exception for a volunteer based on the needs of the team.
