Completed Site Leader applications for the 2009 Alternative Spring Break domestic trips are due no later than 5:00pm on Sunday, September 21 (deadline exteneded).  The deadline for the international trip and early consideration for domestic trips is 5:00pm on Friday, April 25.

Will you be available to attend the MANDATORY Site Leader training on the evening of Friday, October 24 and all day on Saturday, October 25?

Those who cannot attend this training will be ineligible for selection as Site Leaders.

Yes

No

Rank order your choice(s) of the ASB trips on which you wish to serve as a Site Leader, with 1 being your first choice. Do NOT select any number more than once (i.e. both the Community Involvement Center and New Proposal 1 as your 1st choice). Only select the trips for which you wish to be considered as a Site Leader candidate.

Due to the high cost associated with and the additional oversight required for international projects, only one (with the possible exception of some locations in Mexico) is advised by the Community Involvement Center each year. This one trip is further limited to sites within the Caribbean, North America, and Central America. Be aware that if this is the only option you choose, you chance of being selected as a Site Leader is greatly reduced.
