CARE Service Leaders - March 17

CARE Service Leaders - March 17

The Office of Community Service and Civic Engagement works with a cohort of student service leader through the CARE Service Leaders. These leaders are responsible for a variety of monthly programming surrounding one social concern. Students may apply as the sole leader for a social concern or as co-leaders. A student may apply for more than one social concern portfolio, but must indicate their priority during the interview. Student leaders will receive training before beginning their leadership experience. Students may apply for this as a work study position, for internship, or simply because of their passion for their chosen service concern and desire to organize support. Students selected to participate are expected to participate in monthly meetings of the cohort. Students interested in applying to become a CARE Service Leader should complete the application found at http://fs11.formsite.com/transy/CAREServiceLeaders/index.html.  Applications are due Monday, March 17 at 5 pm. Interviews will be arranged after applications are received. For more information about this opportunity, contact Karen Anderson, kanderson@transy.edu or call 233-8182.
