Link Crew

What is Link Crew?

Link Crew is a high school transition program that welcomes freshmen and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their high school experience. Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, Boomerang Project’s proven high school transition program trains mentors from your junior and senior classes to be Link Crew Leaders. As positive role models, Link Crew Leaders are mentors and student leaders who guide the freshmen to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to high school and help facilitate freshman success.

More and more studies show that if students have a positive experience their first year in high school, their chance for success increases dramatically. Link Crew provides the structure for freshmen to receive support and guidance from juniors and seniors who have been through the challenges that high school poses, and understand that the transition to a larger school can sometimes be overwhelming

How does it work for the Freshmen?

Freshmen are put into groups of ten with two Link Crew Leaders. This group will work together and meet throughout the school year. The Link Crew Leaders, who are juniors and seniors, will be a support system for the freshman students in order to make them feel comfortable and welcomed during their transition into high school. All they need to do is show up to the small hangouts and fun events we plan to have a good time! Freshmen can reach out to their leaders with any questions regarding the first day of school, finals week schedules, or anything else they might need!
