Be a Leadership Coach at the Shelton Challenge this summer

The Shelton Challenge is a six-day, residential program built on the Shelton Leadership Center’s core values, and is designed to help high school students enhance their capacities to become values-based leaders. This immersive program is designed to transform potential into real-world skills through mentorship, self-reflection, and shared discovery. 

Leadership Coaches are college-aged students who guide teams, facilitate reflections, and evaluate team performances, bringing college-level enthusiasm to the Challenge. As a result of serving as a Leadership Coach, you will:

  • Receive free housing, meals and parking during your stay at camp
  • Have the opportunity to deepen your own leadership
  • Build relevant professional skills, such as the ability to work on intergenerational teams, communication, and critical thinking, while shaping young minds
  • Contribute to a transformative experience that impacts your local and state communities

Compensation: $600

Leadership Coaches are selected through a thorough application review process and group interview. Group interviews are required and will be held on Saturday, February 28.

Eligibility:

  • Must be a college student
  • Having prior experience with Challenge programs is preferred, but not required
  • Commit to being present for a full week of camp activities (6 days + early arrival for staff training) as well as approximately 10 hours of staff training scheduled during the month of May
