Student Leadership Opportunity - Bring Justin and Greg to Your School!

Justin Boudreau and Greg Evans have traveled the world conducting student workshops, including our very own GEAR UP Student Leadership Event. Justin and Greg are available the week of October 28 – November 1, 2013 to conduct one-day Student Leadership Events at 5 Oregon GEAR UP schools. In addition to the student leadership component, Greg Evans could conduct a 1 -2 hour workshop for educators. 

The fee for each event is $4,000 and must be paid by the participating school; GEAR UP funds may be used. If adjustments need to be made to your GEAR UP plan to accommodate this, contact Susie Snelling (susie_snelling@ous.edu).

The GEAR UP office will handle contracting, coordinate the week’s schedule, and cover travel costs for Justin and Greg.

Participating schools will have to:

• Be somewhat flexible. The travel schedule will depend on the locations of participating schools.
• Provide a space for the event. A room where desks can be removed with stackable chairs is perfect. Gyms are not ideal for sound and typically are too big.  Theaters are also not ideal.  

Planning details:

• This is an all-day event.
• 60-80 is a great number of students to work with, but up to 100 can be accommodated.
• It is best to choose either 6^th – 8^th graders or 9^th – 12^th graders, but it is okay to mix.

If your school is interested in participating in this exciting opportunity, email Anne Stephens (anne_stephens@ous.edu) by September 6. Include in the email your preferred date, all possible dates, and student population served by this event (number and grade levels). Priority will be given based on things such as the order in which schools respond and availability on assigned date.
