I initially decided to apply for a position. First one must register with "governmentjobs.com". Then to speed things up, I updated a brief resume, uploaded it, then tried to have it entered and accepted. This got me into the regular permanent job on-line applicant process. For a volunteer, I have no idea why there is a requirement for a driver's license, full employment history, multiple references, etc., if the applicant is going to be interviewed in person anyway. Incidentally, requiring a driver's license number requires one to provide information that can be queried to obtain age information, which I believe cannot be asked for under federal law.

Bottom line is that after spending an inordinate amount of time trying to apply I gave up. I can see why there have been no applicants. If I'd known what was going to be requested, I'd have saved my time and never tried to apply.

It will be interesting to see what, if any, people are willing to go through this application process for a non-paying volunteer job.
