You should be: 

• Proficient and comfortable with written English
• Able to pay close attention to detail 
• Respectful when communicating with others

• Responsive via email--including emails from Kiva Volunteer Coordinators and Kiva Team Leaders
• Comfortable with new technology

• You must be at least 18 years of age to apply.
• The online platform Kiva volunteers use is not mobile or tablet-friendly, so volunteers must have access to a computer.

Please note:

• Full applications will contain a brief Kiva loan review policy exercise.
• Successful completion of the assessment will be followed by an editing test, which you can complete on your schedule.
• Successful completion of the editing test will be followed by a short volunteer training, again on your schedule.
• Upon completion of training, you will review and submit loans on your own. Please remember the 2-hour-per-week commitment.
