How to Become a FIRE Crew Leader
FIRE Crew AKA Peer Leaders Want to Serve Younger Students
FIRE promotes a safe-school environment and an atmosphere of peer support as next year’s junior and senior students participate as “student mentors” during the FIRE period. (70+) FIRE Crew members are given special training and unique opportunities as they volunteer time to help to create a more inclusive campus.
This is a BIG, non-flexible commitment. Do NOT overextend yourself as you NEED life balance.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR IN A FIRE CREW LEADER?
We look for well-rounded students with strengths in any number of areas. Though important, we do not focus only on academics.
- Compassion, caring, and kindness
- Charisma, character and (a little bit of) craziness
