1. The deadline to apply is Friday, April 4, 2025. All application materials are due by this date.
   • A completed application file consists of an online application (will be added to this page on Feb. 3) and two (2) letters of recommendation from teachers, employers, religious leaders, or other volunteer supervisors. Recommendations should be emailed and addressed to Special Events Manager Amanda McCormick.
   • No application will be reviewed until all materials are received.
   • Any application determined to have been completed in part or in whole by another person (including, but not limited to a parent, guardian, sibling, other student, or other adult) will be automatically declined.
   • Students are responsible for contacting Amanda McCormick and their personal recommenders/references throughout the application process to ensure their materials are received.
2. Once a completed application is received, the candidate will complete an in-person interview with the selection committee typically comprised of the RMHCA advisor and outgoing SLC President.
3. The selection committee will determine the accepted candidates for the 2024-2025 membership class.
4. Selected students may serve a maximum of two (2) years, depending on their status as a Junior or Senior and their first year membership performance.
5. All interviewed candidates will receive a notice of either acceptance or decline via email from Amanda McCormick in the month of May. Students not selected will be encouraged to volunteer independently at RMHCA and to reapply to the SLC the following year if they still qualify.
6. Accepted students must attend the mandatory Summer Summit at the Ronald McDonald House at a date to be announced from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
