Locations

Applications for the 2025 season are now open!

 

Please read the following before filling out your application.

  1. Applications are open through December 15. Mentors will respond to candidates to let them know if they will be invited for an interview by January 6, 2025.
  2. Before applying, please make sure you have carefully read about each operation and check out the recording from our October NAP 101 Informational Call. This will help you find sites that are a good fit for for your interests and career goals.
  3. We recommend applying to no more than five operations. There is an option to be considered for other operations if you have not been selected for an interview by your top picks.
  4. Our application is long. We recommend using a word processor to write out your application responses first, and then copy and paste them into this form. Every year we have applicants who type their responses directly into the form and end up accidentally losing their work (if a tab gets closed, or the browser refreshes). Don’t make that mistake!
  5. You will receive a confirmation email with more details after you submit your application. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please email the NAP team at newagrarian@quiviracoalition.org
  6. If you need assistance with filling out this application, please contact us at newagrarian@quiviracoalition.org!
