This application is for exemplary baptized publishers 13 years of age and older who are willing to assist periodically with construction or maintenance
projects for limited periods of time within a reasonable travel distance from their home. Only
those in good spiritual, physical, moral, and emotional
health should apply. All should have the spirit of the prophet Isaiah, who said: “Here I am! Send me!” (Isa. 6:8) While the greatest need is for those
who are skilled in construction, project development, and design, even those who do not have extensive experience in a construction-related trade
may apply. Volunteers between 1
3 and 15 years of age are permitted to work in nonconstruction areas only if they are accompanied by a parent or a
guardian. Volunteers 16 and 17 years of age are permitted to work in construction areas only if they are properly supervised. Please answer complete-
ly all questions applicable to you.
It is preferred that the information on this application be entered electronically. Applications should be renewed
every three years or when there is a change of circumstances that would affect the answers on this application.
