New Student Leadership Opportunities with Break Away!

I'm pleased to announce a new student leadership opportunity with Break Away here at JSC! We've created a new position, called the Co-Chair. The Break Away Co-Chairs are responsible for the overall program--for recruiting and selecting trip leaders, trip leader training, researching and choosing trip issues and sites, and managing the overall program. (all with the support of the Center for Service Learning staff, of course!)This is a great opportunity for a full-time undergraduate student looking for a rich leadership experience. No prior Break Away experience is required (either participation or leadership), although knowledge of the program is certainly desirable. The time commitment is about 10 hours per week each semester starting now and continuing through Spring 2009.

Applications are available now in the Center for Service Learning, and due back Friday, March 10, 2008. More information about the position is on the application. If you have questions, please stop by the office or email laura.megivern@jsc.edu or colin.penney@jsc.edu.

Co-chairing not for you? We'll be seeking trip leaders later this semester.

Please also feel free to pass this along to folks you know who may be interested in this opportunity.

Yours in Service, Laura
