Description of Service Opportunity:
The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) at Radcliffe is a pilot program to be held during the academic year 2023-2024. ELP is a youth membership initiative focused on gender and leadership that brings together local high-school students (mentees) and Harvard undergraduates (mentors) to engage in discussions and action on themes related to leadership development, social movements, and civic engagement. Through weekly one-on-one and group sessions, mentors will support and encourage mentees' success in the ELP, which will include curriculum linked to the collections of Radcliffe's Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America and the opportunity to design social action projects around community issues the mentee's identify.

- Gathering nominations for the program.
- Communicating with prospective students about their interest and availability.
- Finalize the lists of participants.

- Be responsible for establishing and maintaining communications between the ELP and the Mentees' parents/guardians.
- Relay information about any Mentee's absence or other information related to the Mentees' attendance at ELP sessions to Radcliffe staff prior to each session.
