Character Collectives Form

What are the Character Collectives?! Before filling out this application, you should have some idea about the Character Collectives and how this process works. A person chosen will have a full interview and post written about them for our Character Collectives series. We are looking to highlight everyday people with extraordinary values that add to their community. We primarily will be looking for people who struggle with some sort of hardship; whether it is being a minority in America, living with a disability, mental illness, etc. The purpose of this series is to inspire readers by people that have struggles just like them, but also have found ways to live with these struggles and work hard so that they can do what they love every day.

If you are applying for someone other than yourself, please disregard ‘you/your’ questions and read as ‘third-person’ questions.

All questions are equally important and are subjective. If you don’t have an answer for a question, do not fret. There are no right or wrong answers. There is no ‘perfect’ answer we are looking for. This application was designed to get to know you better and learn about your personality and the lifestyle you lead, not to check off certain boxes or count you out because you don’t meet a certain qualification.
