Interview
I applied online for serving where most needed was emailed to inform them of times I'd be available for a half hour phone interview within a couple days upon completion of application. The initial phone interview went really well and the interview was very polite and easy to talk to. About 5 days later I was emailed and informed I was matched with the New Hampshire site and asked if I wanted to continue the process. Within a day or so, somebody from New Hampshire contacted me and we set up a more formal phone interview. I was a little less sure of my performance this time around but apparently it went well enough. The second interview was full of hypothetical scenarios and personal background questions. Within another 5 days I was offered a position. The important thing was applying early, having confidence, knowing and showing that you really care about the position and just being honest with yourself and to the interviewer.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What do you think the most challenging aspect of working at City Year will be?
Very simple. Quick virtual interview and pretty simple questions. Research their values and what not and you should be good to go. As far as I remember it was a single interview and decision is relatively soon after that.
Really friendly and welcoming. Try to make it as comfortable as possible and share about the work they do. They want to ensure applicants are making the right decisions and that they assess the values.

Interview
Done over zoom and not an overly long process interviews are usually conducted by the IM for a school in the city you are applying for but if you have a pulse you should be fine
