volunteer as a pride co-leader
As a co-leader, you will be entrusted with the responsibility of utilizing your training, personal experience, and the Kids Rank curriculum to support our leaders in providing guidance to military children, weekly, in a group (Pride) setting.
Each child has his or her own experience of being a military kid. Some will have never traveled and only have lived in one place and others may have been all over the world and been enrolled in several different schools. The thing that they will have in common is that their parent is or has served our country in some manner. This idea of sacrifice and service is something that military children are doing most times without understanding what it means. The goal of the Kids Rank Clubs is for them to begin to recognize their strengths and we need to co-leaders to help them achieve that goal.
We need dedicated individuals and community members to use their breadth of experiences to cultivate relationships and a sense of belonging for military kids in and around their neighborhoods.
Help us:
-
Organize weekly activities designed to promote physical, mental, and social development.
-
Develop and maintain relationships with pride members on a weekly basis
-
Reward children with specific Ribbons that are earned throughout sessions.
-
Communicate with children's parents or guardians about activities, behaviors, and related issues.
