2. Review the Evaluation Criteria.
3. Submit a 2022 "Explorer Model" Proposal
An award package is given to each participating student leader for completing the specific criteria while contributing to the overall project. The award includes a $1500 stipend for coordinating the project, usually in the Winter term of the grant year.
In Fall of the grant year, student leaders will attend the FCCP leadership course (3 credits). (LEAD 2000 is a pre-requisite.) All students will conduct community assessments and develop an action plan. Students will not have to pay anything extra for this course.
NOTE: The student leader will not be enrolled in the service-learning course in which the proposal is implemented; rather they will serve as a teaching assistant and/or project coordinator. Ideally the student leader will have been previously enrolled in the course, or at have some familiarity with the course material.
