Churches apply to be a host site every year. Each host site incorporates the same program design; however, the participants at each church are involved in the leadership and operation of the program. Host sites are chosen based on the following:
- The demographics in relation to elementary schools with high percentages of children eligible for F/RPSL.
- The church’s desire to connect with the surrounding community. (The congregation should be interested in addressing the needs of their neighborhood and welcoming the families into their church. The congregation is expected to become involved by volunteering to read with and provide lunch for the children. In addition, the members of the site church should engage with the parents and families of the children who attend PT through a variety of events.)
- The church’s ability to support the AmeriCorps members as they lead the program.
- The church’s ability to pay additional utility and maintenance costs throughout the summer.
- The church’s willingness to participate in training sessions to prepare them for the summer.
- The church’s ability to add PT as an additional insured under the comprehensive general liability policy.
- The church’s adoption of the Conference Safe Sanctuary Policy.
