I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at City Year (Boston, MA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Applied online and was sent an email giving a date and time for an in-person interview. The interview was with an Impact Director and it was a fairly standard interview, with some questions and scenarios. The interview took about 30 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of a challenge you faced this year and how you dealt with it
Straight forward interview process, knew quickly about the decision. More of a conversation than anything but would suggest reading up on the values of the org first and coming up with questions before the interview as money and responsibilities can be tough during a TL year.

Question 1
What would you tell a corps member who didn't want to wear their uniform?
It was a virtual interview on Microsoft Teams. There was one person asking the questions and another recording the answers. The questions seemed like they were reading off a script and they gave almost no response to my answers. It was fine, but I personally prefer a more conversational interview process. Was about 45 mins to an hour long.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at City Year (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2021
Interview
Similar to Corps member interview. Asks questions about your previous year and why you want to be a TL. My interview was virtual, with an Impact Director that I am familiar with. Generally easy interview but make sure you have a few examples from your corps year that you want to show off.
