Founding Leader | A volunteer leadership opportunity
You make the introduction. We do the rest.
Your school does not have an NSLS chapter yet. You can be the reason it does. Point us toward the right person on campus, make one introduction, and a member of our team takes the conversation from there.
You are not selling anything and you are not running a club.
Takes about three minutes. No cost and no obligation.
What this actually involves
Point us to the right person. Someone in Career Services, Student Affairs, Academic Advising or TRIO.
Make the introduction. One email, using wording we write for you.
We take the meeting. You are welcome to join, but you never have to pitch or present.
What you earn, and when
When you take your first call: full NSLS membership, including the Foundations of Leadership program.
When the campus meeting is booked: Advanced and Executive Level Courses, plus credit-recommended coursework.
When your chapter launches: an invitation to the national Summit, and recognition as a Founding Leader of your chapter.
This is a volunteer leadership role. There is no stipend and no payment, and we would rather say that plainly up front than have you find out on a call.
The ask is small
A few weeks, not a semester. Most of the work is a handful of emails and one meeting. There is an optional 30-minute check-in every other week, and optional means optional. No GPA bar, no student organisation to start, and you do not need to be an NSLS member already.
How applying works
A short form. Your name, your school, and how you heard about us. About three minutes.
A recorded introduction. Four short questions, six minutes in total, recorded whenever suits you. You get three attempts at each one, so a stumble costs you nothing.
A conversation. If it is a fit, someone from our team books 15 minutes to talk through your campus.
Graduating soon is not a problem. If you make the introduction before you leave, you have done the part that matters.
