Interview
I had my screening interview and they asked:
How might a child describe you and what would you do to achieve that description?
Describe your best and worst team experiences?
What are your strengths in regards to your work habits/style?
In regards to your work habits/style, what do you hope to improve with City Year?
What are your personal/professional goals?
What do you know about City Year?

and a few others. It took 20 minutes.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How might a child describe you and how would you achieve that description?
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
