Description:

Step-up Leadership is designed for leaders who have previously participated in a Glebe Leadership program. This three-week session will take the skills learned from previous sessions and put them to work in the real world. All participants will be in the program the weeks of July 14 - 18 and August 5 - 8 . Each leader will complete a volunteer placement week in a GNAG camps. These one-week placements will be scheduled either July 21 - 25 OR July 28 - August 1. We organize the placement – and you do the work! Enthusiasm and dedication are a must in this program, designed to turn you into a camp counselor! This session will make your resume stand out. But don’t worry – in typical Glebe Leadership fashion, it’s not ALL about the work! There will be some killer out-trips and exciting new challenges and games too!  Participants are required to demonstrate certain skills in order to successfully complete this program, and are required to attend all 3-weeks of the program. Successful participants will be given credit towards their 40-hour community service requirement. Please note, there is no program Monday, August 4 - Civic holiday.
