Role Description and Requirements

Team Alumni are new junior staff. Team alumni members serve equally as part of two teams: operations and ambassador support. They serve as the source of enthusiasm for the group as well as a relatable role model due to being a similar age to students. They are a listener and observer in group time. This role gives recent alumni a chance to work behind the scenes to understand how the seminar runs, while still contributing to the students’ experience. 

To be on Team Alumni:

• Fundraise a minimum of $225 and log a minimum of 75 hours in the L4S site by the following deadlines:

  • April 15: $113 logged and mailed and 33 hours of service logged in L4S (of which, 2 hours of service must be with the recruitment/diversity, equity, and inclusion teams)

  • May 15: $225 logged and mailed and 75 hours of service logged in L4S

    • If not met, you will have a call with the director of staff to discuss your future plans.

  • Those who fundraise more than the minimum $225 will receive prizes as recognition of your outstanding efforts!

• Attend at least one social justice series event (offered monthly)

• Be enthusiastic. You’re part of a select group of alumni. Most importantly, you’re a role model for our students. 

• Be available. Applying to staff our seminar means you anticipate being available for the duration of the weekend. 

  • Exceptions (including late arrivals and early departures) will only be made in unusual circumstances.

• Be responsive. When a director or the leadership seminar chairwoman contact you with a request, respond within 48 hours.

• Be transparent. Be open and honest about conflicts and status updates. We are here to help you!

Fundraising Requirement

You must raise $225 by May 15.  We HIGHLY encourage you to fundraise this money and not have your family just write a check to cover the amount. By fundraising rather than writing a check, you commit to equalizing some of the socioeconomic privilege and creating a more inclusive environment for junior staff; everyone, no matter their family's financial state, is on the same playing field working towards raising these required funds.

Log Your Fundraising and Who You've Approached for Donations!

This is IMPERATIVE as it helps us keep track of who we need to send thank-you cards to, and reduces the chance of funds getting lost. It also lets us know which organizations and businesses you've already approached for donations so that we don't double-ask them.  Log this info regularly using the "Log Your Fundraising Here" button!

Note: if you participated in a fundraiser we offered (e.g.. DoubleGood), in most instances we'll add those amounts to your totals automatically. Sometimes, though, (e.g., with Bonfire sales) we'll need you to tell us which of the sales should be attributed to you.
