What is the LINK Crew Program?
Link Crew is a high school transition program at Marysville Getchell to welcome freshmen and make them feel comfortable throughout the first year of high school. One of our goals at Marysville Getchell is to increase freshmen success, and the Link Crew program will help us do that. Link Crew begins with a powerful orientation day that makes freshmen excited and proud to be attending MGHS and allows them to begin developing relationships and strategies to be successful in high school. After orientation, the Link Crew program continues, providing a variety of Follow Up activities presented by trained Link Leaders throughout the year. Through this program, students learn that people at school care about them and their success. |
Who are Link Leaders? Link Leaders are juniors and seniors who are good role models for younger students and who have been successful at MGHS. Link Leaders communication skills, leadership potential, responsibility and personality have helped them succeed in the high school environment. Potential Leaders are compassionate, committed, reliable, passionate and enthusiastic people with school spirit. Link Leaders have a tremendous influence on new students and gain valuable leadership skills while having fun in the process! We are looking for a diverse group of caring and dedicated individuals who represent a wide variety of our student population to serve as mentors to our freshmen. Qualities we are looking for in LINK Leaders:
What will it mean to be a LINK Leader?
As a Link Leader, you will be trained to work with the incoming freshmen class. After the extensive training, you will help run freshmen orientation before school starts in September. At the orientation, each of you will be given a small group of freshmen to work with for the day and will be asked to assist that same group through the first week of school with any questions or challenges that may arise for them. During the school year, you will meet again with your freshmen group to touch base, discuss problems or concerns, and help plan social activities. You can have a tremendous influence on the success of the students whom you work with, and also learn many valuable leadership skills in the process as well. |
