​When the applications open,  you apply on-line then:

• One of our OAE volunteers will contact the supervisor you list. 
• Once that is successfully completed, your application will be forwarded to our Family Coordinator who will reach out to you to discuss options for dates that are available.
• Scheduling is a combination of first applications received and priority given to those who have been separated from their family.
• Once scheduled, you will receive more detailed information 2-3 weeks before your arrival date.
