LEAD YOUR PEERS IN SERVICE THAT YOU CARE ABOUT! The Center for Leadership and Social Change is seeking students to facilitate service projects for the Community Outreach Program in the upcoming summer and fall semesters. Strong facilitators are critical to the success and growth of the Program. The Community Outreach Program aims to offer at least one service project every day of the week, at different times of day, that address a wide range of community issue areas. Being a facilitator requires a minimum semester-long commitment. Responsibilities include transporting FSU students in Center vans, so having a valid driver license, current auto insurance, and a good driving history are all needed. Other responsibilities include recruiting, informing, educating, supervising and encouraging the students on the project, helping them learn more about the needs of the community, discover what they are passionate about, and inspire them to continue volunteering. Interested? Take a look at the Community Outreach Program website to see the current schedule, to know which projects you might be interested in. It is ideal to have two facilitators for every project, in order to balance the load and responsibility of each facilitator and insure the reliability of the projects. Contact Heather Stitely if you have questions or need any additional information. If you are interested, please complete the facilitator application (available online or at the Center) and return it via email to hstitely@admin.fsu.edu or drop it off at the Center for Leadership and Social Change at your earliest convenience.
