• When can I apply to be a link leader?
    • You can apply to be a link leader during the spring of your sophomore or junior year.

     

    What are the requirements to be a link leader?

    • Must be an incoming junior or senior.
    • Must have a good record of attendance and discipline.
    • Can provide the names of three teachers as references.
    • Must have passing grades in all classes and must maintain appropriate behavior and consistent attendance throughout the year.
    • Must have a 2.5 GPA minimum.
    • Must be able to attend all of the mandatory meetings.
    • Willing to have fun and make a difference. 

     

    If I am currently a link leader, do I have to reapply? 

    • Current Link Leaders will reapply using a different application that will be emailed directly to you 

     

    I have never had to lead a group. What if I don't know how to?

    • A lot of people have not been put in a situation where they are asked to stand up in front of a group and lead an activity. This is a skill that you will develop and improve on over time. This program is designed to help you become more comfortable in these situations. However, you must be willing to try and to work towards becoming a better leader. 
     
    What happens after I apply? 
    • Once the application closes, all students will be notified by email to sign up for interviews. After all interviews are completed, you will be notified if you have been accepted into the program, and then you can enroll into the Link Crew Class. 
     
    What do I have to do in the interview? 
    • The purpose of the interview is to see how you work with others. As a Link Leader, you will be required to lead activities, and they may not always go as planned. We just want to see how you respond to these types of situations. Relax. Interviews will be in a group setting and are not meant to intimidate you. Failure to attend your interview could cause your application to be removed from consideration. 
     
    What if I can't take the Link Crew class?
    • The Link crew is a year-long program. If you are unable to commit to the class, it is important to notify the coordinators as soon as possible. Sometimes we are faced with tough choices, but it is important for you to be enrolled into the year-long class or you are not able to be a link leader.
