# Staff Applications

> How to apply for the Grumps Hollow staff team and what is expected from applicants.

The Grumps Hollow staff team is made up of community members who volunteer their time to keep the server welcoming and running smoothly.

If you're active, friendly, and want to help others, you can apply for the **Trial Helper** role when applications are open.

## 📬 How to apply

Staff applications are not always open.

To check if they are currently open, visit the [Grumps Hollow Discord](https://discord.gg/grumpshollow)\
and look in the `#news` channel.

When applications are open, instructions will be posted there.

As a helper, your responsibilities include:

* Answering player questions in Discord and in-game
* Assisting staff with general support

<Card title="Trial Period">

## 📋 Requirements

To apply, you must meet the following:

* Play on **Java Edition (PC)**
* Be **active in the community** (in-game and Discord)
* Have **no recent bans or serious punishment history**

## 🌟 What staff look for

Staff look for players who:

* Are already helping others
* Stay positive and respectful
* Are active and engaged
* Show maturity and good judgment

<Tip>
  The best way to get accepted is to already act like a helper. (No Mini-Modding though, please)\
  Be active, help others, and stay positive — staff will notice.
