Applicants must be a certified teacher or professor who currently teaches in a public, private, faith-based, charter, or higher education institution within the fifty states or the District of Columbia; or be a school-based service-learning coordinator whose primary role is to coordinate service-learning projects in a school or university; or be a youth between the ages of five and twenty-five.
