Be a Make A Difference Day Site Leader!
The FGCU Office of Service-Learning & Civic Engagement is in need of students to serve as site leaders during the annual Make A Difference Day morning of service. Site leaders will help lead a service trip with roughly 25 student participants per site. You will work together with one or two additional site leaders to lead your site location. Locations will vary. Learn more about the Day of Service event here.
The event runs 8am-1pm. However, we ask site leaders to arrive at 7am to help with setup and plan to stay until 2pm to help with any teardown that may be needed. You will engaged in 7 hours of service-learning toward your graduation requirement.
You must attend a short training session. There are two options (you only need to pick one):
