Application Process

To apply to the Working Boys' Center Volunteer Program, please follow the steps below.

  1. Contact Patricia Jessup, WBC Volunteer Coordinator, to discuss your reasons for wanting to volunteer, the volunteer requirements, and the application process.

  2. Write a letter addressed to Sister Miguel Conway stating your volunteer qualifications, how you heard about the WBC, and your reasons for wanting to serve. Email it to Sister Miguel.

  3. Sister Miguel will reply to your letter by sending you detailed information on the volunteer experience along with a contract. A potential volunteer should read this carefully. If you wish to abide by all terms in the contract and think WBC is the right volunteer experience for you, sign the contract and return it to Sister Miguel with a second letter saying that you have decided to serve in Quito under the terms prescribed in the contract.

  4. Upon receipt of your signed contract, Sister Miguel will send you more volunteer information and papers you will need to get your visa.

Please note that the application process is not complete until all four steps have been completed.
