We invite applications in a specially designed application form that helps you share with us about your life experiences and motivations and your desire to take up Social change experiment, along with detailing out what you intend to do and how.

The selections are conducted through a three level process, where we screen your applications and upon suitability, conduct telephonic interviews and upon further suitability invite you for a group interaction and a personal interview.

The selection process is geared to create the best match between applicants and what the LLJ platform can offer… thus it is not elimination centric but selection centric towards high suitability. We try our best to engage with all applicants and offer feedback and support.
