Group Leaders

Expectations

There are also certain expectations we ask of all group leaders interested in signing up a group of their own. The first and foremost is group leaders themselves must support our overall mission in developing students and young professionals as positive leaders, locally and beyond. That's what we're all about and look to partner with people and organizations who are excited about sharing this type of opportunity. Many group leaders are teachers, sports coaches, student organization leaders, or other community or nonprofit leaders that already have a group of participants but don’t currently have a leadership, service and travel component to their existing class, group, or program.
The second expectation is all group leaders must act as the point of contact and be able to lead on recruiting at least twelve members. This is the biggest "lift" as a group leader and also comes with certain benefits. To support our group leaders, all will also be matched with a specific BGood Coach to work alongside throughout the entire program. Together, group leaders and BGood Coaches will customize your group's program elements during the planning process, will co-deliver the leadership coaching sessions throughout the program, and will co-lead the group's leadership mission abroad. 
Why do we use this model for group leader support? Because we know most group leaders simply don't have the time to organize, fundraise, a run an international group mission alone. That's where BGood Coaches come in; they are trained, experienced and will be there for all our group leaders to make sure they and their participants all have the best experience possible. (Once program details are confirmed, we provide all the marketing materials necessary to promote the program to your group.)
Sound like something you're up for? Do you have a group of participants in mind? If so, or if you have questions, schedule a call with a BGood staff to learn more. Email us at [email protected] to schedule an appointment.

Benefits

As a role model for our young professionals, you will be able to cultivate and help build the leaders of tomorrow. Your role is vital to providing knowledge and guidance that will help our leaders to recognize their core strengths and face challenges locally, and beyond.
