PREPARED! GLE pre-program assignments are designed to prepare you for the GLE activities and challenges. Come ready and jump straight into the fun!
Pre-Travel Checklist: Please complete by June 30th. If you did not receive an email with the pre-travel check list survey to complete, contact Melissa at [email protected]
Leadership Activity 1: Digital Narrative: Please complete by June 30th. 3-5 Photos depicting who you are. These pictures can include your culture, traditions, family/friends, your qualities, moral/values, hobbies, etc. Basically, please include what you want us to know about you.
Organization Visits Assignment: Each participant has been placed in a group according to one's social issue interests. In your group, your assignment is to communicate, coordinate, and book a visit or tour with at least two organizations. You will be traveling to these organizations on August 19th during the day. Once you have been able to confirm a meeting time, please email Amy at [email protected]. Please complete this assignment by July 19th at the latest.
Leadership Activity 2: Research and Prepare: Please complete before coming to the program. All of you have answered the essay questions regarding what social issue you are interested in. Now we would like you take it a step further. Since your groups have now confirmed your organization visits, we would like you to research your organizations. Not only their history and what they do, but also how they link to your social issue interest. This assignment is to help you prepare for your organization visits. For your pre-arrival assignment, we would like you to prepare at least 5 different questions for your organization. They must be thoughtful, creative, and most importantly, relevant. Each participant will bring these questions with them, and the day before your organization visits, you will have time to get into your groups and discuss
One last suggestion, do your best to make sure your questions are open-ended questions, for example, starting your questions using words like, "How, Why, and What". The purpose of this is for them to have a chance to elaborate and explain, rather than just having a Yes or No, or one-word answer.
Good luck!
