Program Overview:

The Early Outreach Conference (REACH) is a USC-affiliated leadership conference for youth that takes place in May for youth in the city of London. The conference targets grade 7 and 8 students who feed into high schools with high dropout rates. The conference recognizes that many students decide their future educational pathways at an early age in hopes that this conference provides youth with information and tools to help them make well-informed decisions.

REACH Leadership Developer (LD)

This application is recruiting Western undergraduate and graduate students to be Leadership Developers (LDs). LDs are put into pairs of two and assigned a small group of grade 7 & 8 delegates, where they act as leaders and mentors. At REACH, the delegates will learn about the different avenues they can pursue with respect to their education and receive guidance and motivation from both their LDs and guest
speakers. In addition, LDs provide the delegates with a positive perception about challenging and empowering themselves and REACHing their full potential.

Reach is a 3-day overnight conference that is tentatively planned to occur from May 15-17. Aside
from mandatory attendance at the conference, as an LD, you will be required to attend two mandatory in-person training sessions at the end of February and the Beginning of March.

If you have any questions about the conference or the role of an LD, please do not hesitate to email Reema, Joanna, and Angeer at earlyoutreach.ldd@westernusc.ca
