[Vcsa-announcements] Professional Development Opportunity!

[Anna Tognazzini]

Greetings,

The LeaderShape Institute is coming to UCR for the second year this spring break (Monday, March 23 - Sunday, March 29). Last year over 50 UCR students and 6 UCR staff members spent their spring break in Oak Glen, CA with The LeaderShape Institute. LeaderShape is an interactive, energizing, and unique experience that builds leadership skills no other program can match.  It is a six day institute of non-stop self-discovery and learning from practical experiences that help students build their leadership concepts and abilities.  It is an experiential leadership program in which all participants, including program faculty (UCR staff), live on site for the six days of the institute.

The program's faculty is comprised of two Lead Facilitators that are sent from the national LeaderShape office and 6 Cluster Facilitators, which are UCR staff. The Cluster Facilitators' primary responsibility is to work with a group of 8-12 students called the "Family Cluster." The program begins on Monday, March 23 for the Cluster Facilitators for training and overview. The students arrive on Tuesday, March 24 and students and Cluster Facilitators stay until Sunday, March 29. LeaderShape is held at an off-campus retreat site, in Oak Glen, CA. Housing and meals are provided and it is required that the facilitators stay overnight. The facilitators do have separate lodging from the students. 

We are in the process of looking for Cluster Facilitators, please let Ellen Whitehead know if you are interested or if you would like to recommend someone for this opportunity.

UCR will have a separate application process from the national program. Please note, only complete this online application for a national LeaderShape program not the UCR LeaderShape program.

Supervisors, please forward this message to those that may be interested in the Cluster Facilitator opportunity!

If you have questions, please let me know!

Thank you,
