If you are selected for an Interview, we will call you later about these positions. If you wish to be a TA, circle the courses you can teach on the back of the TA Information Form and turn it in to us. We keep a list for the Instructors to draw from. The Instructor will contact you in May, June, or July.

The Personal Reference form should be given to someone who knows you in a professional capacity (someone you worked for, a boss, supervisor, professor, etc.), can speak of your character (minister, teacher, scout leader, community service co-worker, etc.), or knows how you interact with children. Do NOT use a friend, fellow student, or relative.
   
   The reference form should be sent directly to the Youth Programs office by the person filling out the form. This form can also be mailed or faxed to your reference. International students have faxed these back home, or even sent them by e-mail.
