As Director of the Berlin High School Upbeat Peer Leadership Program, I had the opportunity to work with hundreds of high school students to not only provide community service opportunities, but also aid in the development of their leadership skills. Students were provided with hands on opportunities to apply the skills they’d learned and take on roles that allowed them to gain real life experiences that prepared them for life outside of school. Additionally, I also worked with members of the community, local school administrators, and government officials to best understand the needs of the community so that my students could assist wherever needed in an age and skill appropriate capacity.
