References

            

After the interview, we will ask applicants to submit three reference forms along with the remainder of their application file. These references should be in each of the following categories: peer, mentor, and professor or employer. These references cannot be completed by a significant other, relative, another Augustinian Volunteers applicant, or an AV alumni.

The peer reference should be from a friend, preferably a roommate, who would be able to speak about how you might be as a community member.

The mentor reference should be completed by an adult who knows you well but is not a relative. This reference would hopefully be able to speak more to your spirituality and your overall character.

The professor/employer reference should be completed by someone you have either had as a teacher or for whom you have worked. This reference would hopefully be able to speak about your work ethic and how you would be as a leader, team player, and employee.
 

If you are completing a reference form for an applicant to the Augustinian Volunteers there are two options:

• To fill out a form by hand, click here .
• To type your answers in the form, click here. Please print the form, as they cannot be emailed. Note: In order to save your responses, you must first save the reference form to your computer and chance the document name. 

Please return the completed form in a sealed and signed envelope to the applicant. We ask that you do NOT send the completed reference form directly to the office. Thank you for your cooperation.


Please send us an email if you have any questions or problems with the application process. Thank you.
