Champions
This unique role is perfect for those adults that have an interest in volunteering to mentor youth in a concrete, project-based, and time-specific way. Champions will help facilitate the implementation of the plans the youth participants developed during the Institute for taking on leadership roles in their communities.
The time commitment for Champions is 6 months to 1 year, starting July 2008. Champions will also be expected to attend a 1.5 – 2 hour action planning workshop with the youth at the Institute on a day during the Institute to be determined. They are not expected to attend the full Institute.
