Please type or hand print an autobiographical essay focusing on your family background, significant events in your life, and your current lifestyle. Include your reasons for wanting to serve with the LSAV, highlighting both what you hope to gain from the experience and what talents you wish to share with the community and the poor families we serve.

It is important to share your expectations of community living and the aspects of volunteer service most important to you. This helps us to know you better and to choose the most appropriate placement, especially when a personal interview is not possible.

Please add any other comments that will help us in determining your placement. You might include the type of work and religious experience you desire, the cultural or age group to which you relate best, and any special skills or hobbies.
