- Get 2 teacher recommendations. Teachers must turn this in to Mr. Folkins in the media center by Nov. 30, 2009.
- Schedule an interview by Nov. 30, 2009. Make sure you turn in your application first.
Online Application All applicants must fill out an online application. Because there is no “save” option on the application, we recommend that you type your answers on a word document first, and then copy-paste your responses. The more thorough your answers, the better off you’ll be! Remember that we are looking for exceptional leadership skills!
Teacher Recommendations Every applicant must have 2 teacher recommendations from teacher that taught you during high school. You may give these to any teachers you like. Teachers should turn recommendations in to Mr. Folkins by 4:15 on Nov. 30.
Interviews Applicants must be interviewed in order to be considered. You will be interviewed by current officers of 121Reach, and may be asked questions about your future plans for 121Reach, other innovative ideas you’ve had, leadership positions you’ve held, etc. Interviews will be taking place from Dec. 1 to Dec. 11. during 5th period and before and after school. They will last up to 20 minutes. These will be scheduled first-come first-serve according to a time stamp. To schedule an interview, click here.
Why is the application process so rigorous!? Yes, we know, the application process is very rigorous! The reason for this is because once selected as an officer, you will be representing a non-profit organization. There are already many tutees in the program; we must ensure that our new representatives are of the highest quality of leadership and character. This being said, don’t let the application process deter you from applying. It is well worth the work!
