The JUMP! Foundation is a non-profit social enterprise that uses experiential education to advance a world in which individuals, community leaders, and global citizens realize their passions and potential. JUMP! will be on the ISB campus on Saturday, September 10 from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM and will provide a leadership training opportunity for 45 ISB middle school students.
The goal of this leadership training is to help students examine the characteristics of effective leaders. Students will review the roles they play in groups and be able to identify important practices for effective team leaders and, equally important, for effective team members. Students will have the opportunity to practice effective leadership strategies and skills through fun, interactive activities. In addition, students will work on their team building skills. The JUMP facilitators will be supported by members of the ISB admin team, the counseling team and the teachers.
Please encourage your child to come join the fun- there will be lots of new, hands-on activities and it’s a great opportunity to make new connections.
(Note: due to space limitations for this program, we are able to accept 15 students per grade level. The first 15 students in each grade to be signed up using this form will have an opportunity to participate in this session. We will send a confirmation email if your child receives a spot. We anticipate other similar leadership opportunities will be available to students throughout this year so if your student isn’t able to participate this time, there will be other opportunities coming soon).
