For New IAs, priority selection will go to applicants who have exhausted all Kode With Klossy curricular offerings and/or are 18 years or older.

If you have not attended camps across all of our curricular offerings, we encourage you to consider exhausting all curricular options before applying to become an IA. That said, if you still choose to apply to be an IA but ultimately are not selected, you can still apply to be a scholar.
