How to Apply

There are a few important and necessary steps prior to departure.
 
The first step is to express your desire to be sent on mission for one or two years. This is done by filling out a Volunteer Profile (in which you explain why you want to become a volunteer) and submitting your resume.  You can fill out the Volunteer Profile and send us your resume by clicking here.

The second step is to discuss with one of Fidesco's Volunteer Coordinators. If your Volunteer Profile matches with our current volunteer placement requirements, your will be contacted to schedule a phone discussion.

The third step is to explore. If selected as a candidate, you will receive an invitation to a discernment and discovery weekend, where you will receive information which will help you to further discern your desire to go on mission. During a first interview we will discuss your talents, education, experience, motivation and expectations.

The fourth step is to submit a formal Volunteer Application. This is done by filling out a more comprehensive application (in which you explain why you want to work specifically with Fidesco, and much more) and providing more practical and detailed information (references, small essay...). If both, Fidesco and the candidate, decide to continue the discernment process, the next step is an introduction to the practical, social and spiritual aspects of mission and further acquaintance and training.

The fifth step is to join the mission training session. If both, Fidesco and the candidate, decide to continue, the next step is to find a match between the candidate and a mission requirement; Fidesco's volunteer coordinators, country correspondents and regional council members work together.

The six step is to accept or not your mission assignment.

The seven step is to go on mission as a Volunteer with Fidesco. Welcome!
