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 our Recruitment Director Emily Becker at apply@avodah.net and we’ll be happy to help you out with this.
