Application Checklist
How do I apply?
To apply for an Isla short term volunteer or internship program, please refer to the requirements listed below. Please complete and submit the online application on the Isla website at www.isla-serve.org. Applications may be accepted after the deadline on a space available basis. If the deadline has past, please contact Isla to inquire about availability. Please submit the following to Isla:
Complete the online application.
You must write and submit a 1-2 page Statement of Purpose on the online application form.
Please submit your resume/CV in the space provided on the online application form saved as Your Last Name Resume.doc or as a .pdf.
If submitting by PayPal, please follow the instructions at the end of the online application form, or click on the Making a Payment link on the Apply Menu on the Isla website and click on the Participant’s Fee link and submit $85.
If submitting by mail, please make your payment by check or money order in U.S. dollars to Isla and mail to Isla, 1317 W. Mountain Ave., Fort Collins, CO 80521.
The online application form asks you to provide contact information for two personal references who are familiar with your skills and abilities. You need to ask one of your two referees to be a reference for you. We suggest you choose a referee who knows you well, such as a professor, colleague, or employer. It is not recommended to ask a family member.
Then you must download the Reference for Isla Applicants Form and save it as:
Your Last Name References.doc or as a .pdf document.
Email it to your designated referee who you will ask to complete the reference form and write a letter of recommendation. Your referee must submit this form and recommendation letter to Isla as an attachment to info@isla-serve.org within one week of your application. Though we prefer electronic mail, it is possible for your referee to send a hard copy to Isla.
