Ecology Youth Corps
Attn: Linda Harris
3190 160th Ave SE
Bellevue WA 98008-5452
You may apply ONE time per summer. Submitting multiple applications to increase the chances of being selected for an interview is not allowed and may result in disqualification from consideration for an interview.
Your application is not complete until we have received both PART 1 AND PART 2. After we receive a complete application, a confirmation email or postcard will be sent to you.
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND AND ENCOURAGE applicants to use the on-line application process. Your efforts will ensure greater accuracy and improve processing time (during the past two years we received over 5,000 applications statewide). Additionally, using less paper by applying online promotes waste reduction and helps the environment.
You can also print out the application and reference forms by clicking on the follow links (Adobe Reader Required)
If you choose to print the Application and Reference Form, rather than applying online, they should be mailed together, IN THE SAME ENVELOPE, after being completely filled out, to:
Ecology Youth Corps
Attn: Linda Harris
3190 160th Ave SE
Bellevue WA 98008-5452
DEADLINE
APRIL 10, 2009!! This is a received by deadline. Faxed applications are not accepted.
Please plan ahead to avoid missing the deadline.
NOTE FOR ONLINE APPLICANTS: even if we receive your application electronically by April 10, if the corresponding Reference Form does not arrive in the mail until after April 10, your application will be considered late and not eligible for an interview. This means you must allow enough time for teachers to complete your reference form and return it to you, and then time for you to mail them to our office so they are received no later than the April 10, 2009 deadline.
NOT ABLE TO APPLY ONLINE
If you are not able to apply via the Internet at your local library, Employment Security Worksource office, school, or at home, you may submit a paper copy of the application and teacher reference forms. School guidance counselors will receive EYC application packets (both applications and reference forms) on or around February 1, 2009. Please check with your school counselor's office at that time. If you apply through this method, please complete the application, have the reference form filled by a teacher, counselor, administrator or coach, and mail the completed forms together, IN THE SAME ENVELOPE, to:
