The NGSC is a leadership development program designed to guide students in their journey to becoming character-driven leaders through social change practice and engagement with their social mission.
Each NGSC member is required to complete a titled leadership role to successfully graduate from the scholarship program.
A titled leadership role designates one's position in an organization. The NGSC offers students the opportunity to serve in one of 50+ titled student leadership roles such as Chief of Staff, Section Lead, or Mission Team Leader. As there are a limited number of NGSC Leadership positions offered each year, students are encouraged to apply for leadership positions outside of the NGSC program to successfully fulfill this requirement. Students have the option to serve in numerous leadership roles within the community, at work, or as a student club officer on campus.
Every leadership role and experience is unique. If you are uncertain about a titled leadership position that is not listed below or have additional questions contact an NGSC staff member prior to accepting a leadership role.
