PARTICIPANT ESSENTIAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:

Essential eligibility requirements for the program are listed below and must be met. Suppose you are unable to meet particular needs. In that case, we may assist you with some modification unless it alters the fundamental nature of the program, compromises the health and safety of participants or staff, or places an undue financial or administrative burden on the organization. These requirements are written the same for all positions and, therefore, may not apply directly to your particular work.

PARTICIPATION AND EXPEDITION BEHAVIOR:

• Work effectively as a member of a team despite potentially stressful and challenging conditions. This role may require problem-solving on an interpersonal or group level and a willingness to accept differences.
• Contribute to a safe learning environment; no harassment of others for any reason.
• Display willingness and ability to complete all aspects of the program, including conservation projects, education, training, and national service. Members must commit to participating in all crew/team activities, including service days in local communities where applicable.
• Effectively communicate ideas and concerns as they arise directly to supervisors, colleagues, and organization staff.
• Have the cognitive ability to learn necessary skills and apply them effectively to carry out the service work requirements
• Appropriately represent the Program and AmeriCorps to the public and project partners at all times.

 SAFETY AND JUDGMENT:

• Effectively communicate danger to others in the form of either a warning of danger others may be encountering or a notification of personal distress, injury, or need for assistance. You must be able to do so at a distance of up to 50 meters and conditions with limited visibility or loud background noise such as darkness or high winds.
• Effectively perceive, understand and follow directions by others so that you will be able to execute appropriate and perhaps unfamiliar techniques to manage hazards successfully. Tips may be shared before danger is encountered or may need to be given during exposure to the risk.
