References
When submitting your application you’ll be asked to submit two references through a form link you receive via email.
Who can be a reference?
Your references will be shared with our placement organizations during the matching process and should be professional references.
References may include:
• Someone who supervised you when you held either a paid or volunteer position, such as any type of full-time or part-time job, a summer internship or internship during the school year, a teaching assistant position, etc.
• Someone who served in a leadership role such as a short-term service trip leader or a professional who served as a student group advisor.
• A professor or academic advisor
• A peer reference (someone you worked on a major project with, organized with, lived communally with, served on a team with, etc.)
• A clergy member
The following cannot serve as any of your references:
• Family members or close family friends
What if I need to change one of my references, but I’ve already submitted my application?
It’s not too late! Get in touch with Emily, our Director of Recruitment and Partnerships, at apply@avodah.net and we’ll be happy to help you out with this.
