Leadership League

 

While every Friendship Circle teen volunteer is a leader in our book, we realize that only a select few can make the commitment needed to take their service to the next level. That’s why we created the Leadership League. 

Simply put, the Leadership League gives students in the tenth grade and above the building blocks to bring about real change in the world — and in the special needs community — through intensive training and networking opportunities with a variety of presenters from both in the special needs world and beyond.

Are you eligible to apply?

*Are you a sophomore, junior or senior?

*Have you been an active Friendship Circle volunteer? 

 *Before applying please consider if you have time in your schedule to attend monthly meetings and help with various assigned tasks. This is a significant time commitment.

*If you plan to go abroad for any part of next school year, your application will not be considered.

*This is a one year opportunity. Take this into consideration to make sure that this is the best year for you to apply. If you have been a leader before you cannot reapply.

Being in the Leadership League means you are committing to:

1.  Being an active and responsible Friendship Circle volunteer

§  Lead by example: Be an active Friends at Home volunteer or attend 2 of 3 Sunday Circle Sessions. 

2.  Helping expand our community by recruiting – Reach out to friends and classmates and invite them to join you as a Friendship Circle volunteer

3.  Completing your assigned task (tasks include group tasks as well as individual goals)

§  Group Tasks: Help promote all Friendship Circle events, organize a team for our fall walk and help host at our spring fundraising cocktail event.  

§  Complete an Individual Task Goal, outlining your yearly commitment to The Friendship Circle. We will talk about recruitment goals and other ways to help such as: coordinate volunteer events; making pre-event phone calls, publicizing the Friendship Circle on Facebook, and much more. And of course, we’ll help you every step of the way.

Applications for the 2012-2013 Leadership League MUST be submitted by May 11th.
