Resume and Two References


You are welcome to submit a resume and one or two references to assist Kupu's partnering host sites to better evaluate your CLDP application, but it is NOT required.


Are you applying to multiple CLDP terms or other Kupu programs?  If you are using the same references for your applications, they will need to fill out separate forms for each program or term you submit.  Please let them know in advance that they will be receiving multiple emails with a different web link for each program application or CLDP term.


Guidelines for selecting references:  Use professional references from individuals that have known you for at least three months (e.g., teacher/professor, coach, employer, leader from a group you have volunteered with).  References cannot be immediate family members or close friends.  The individuals you list should be able to speak to your personal and professional attributes.  Please verify that you have entered all information correctly, including email addresses.
