Important information

By completing this application, you are registering to become an Engineer-in-Residence. The information you provide will be used by the EIR Program Office to ensure the best possible match with a school, and will not be shared with third parties without your permission.

Orientation Session:

Volunteer engineers and their teacher/partners are asked to attend to attend a 1-day orientation session in late September or early October. You will receive more information about this once you have been matched with a school.

Volunteer Reference Check:

The EIR program requires that all volunteers working with children undergo a basic police check. Reference checks are conducted by your local municipal police force. In some jurisdictions, all police stations provide the service, while in others it is available only in the large ones. A phone call to any station or the community relations office will give you the locations. You must go in person, and you will need two pieces of identification. Sometimes you may need a letter of reference from either us or the school – every police precinct has its own policies. Again, the best thing to do is call any local station to ask about their procedures. We will prompt you to obtain a police check after your interview.
