Executing Program Enrichment Activities

Program Enrichment

Using the guidelines and leadership curriculum provided, plan a program of enrichment activities over the course of the school year. Coordinate activity dates with Team volunteers, students and their host families as well as others who may be included in an activity (i.e. activity leaders, guest resources, speakers, etc.). Work with students to identify any specific interests they have that fit within the educational framework of these activities and might be explored.
Identify and work with local resources including businesses, government institutions, community service organizations, civic and youth groups. Whenever possible, arrange for meetings with individuals at these places who can provide students with special insight into their field. Host parents may be great resources in the community for brainstorming regarding individuals, businesses etc that may be interested in collaborating/sponsoring an activity with the students.
When it is not possible for you to lead an activity, identify Activity Leaders, such as other volunteers or host parents, to lead and report on the activity. Whenever possible, work with Team volunteers to include the wider community of AFS students in the area.
