Start Your Application

All volunteers and visitors must complete an application in order to visit the orphanages. Please note all applicants will have a background check completed by OSSO's office before being accepted. Read and follow the application steps below.

APPLICATION STEPS

  1. Read our Terms and Conditions and Rules and Code of Conduct carefully before completing your application.

  2. Complete and submit an application.

  3. *Pay the $220 application fee. This fee is non-refundable. We encourage you to read ALL policies and rules before applying because application fees will NOT be refunded for any reason.

  4. Email an application photo to info@orphanagesupport.org. (The photo does not need to be a professional photo but simply something we can use to recognize you.)

  5. The office will contact you to confirm we received your application, and ask when you want to volunteer.

  6. Wait while we contact your references and do a background check.

  7. Interview with OSSO over the phone.

  8. Take the volunteer quiz.

  9. If everything looks good, receive an acceptance email to become an OSSO volunteer!

*The $220 non-refundable application fee is used to process your application. If you're applying as a family, you only have to pay one application fee for the entire family; you won't need to pay $220 for each person. (Those applying with a family application must be dependents living in the same household).
