Playsmart Leadership Academy Volunteer Counselor Application:
If you are interested in working with middle school students to help develop leadership and teamwork skills please fill out the application.
You will be working with students nominated by their teacher or principal who they see as potential leaders. These students will be coached on how to lead and will be put into situations where they will practice refining their skills on leadership. During this week long academy students will become confident leaders and be given tools to use back in their perspective schools. While attending the academy students will work on 5 Pillars: Respect, Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Honesty, and Hard work. They will be exposed to guest speakers throughout the week who have become leaders in their professions and will work on projects while attending the academy.
