Your application is reviewed and passed on to a local team.  You are also required to obtain a recommendation from your pastor or Alpha leaders.

The best scenario is to work with a team.  Alpha USA will attempt to connect you with a Team Lead in your area.

We suggest that you make contact with local courses and see how you might help support what they are doing.

9.  What's it like to be an Alpha Advisor?
Alpha Advisors serve in many different ways. They might present the Alpha course to an interested church. They might help with training new leaders. Others help with follow up after an event through mail or phone calls. Depending on their interest, gifts and availability there is no one set job description that fits every Advisor.
