Older youth Leaders must have a genuine interest in the growth, development, and provision of a safe and nurturing environment for the students they teach. An older youth Leader’s ability to establish authority through leadership, communication, and most importantly patience, will be required in giving our students the stability and nurturing atmosphere they need to succeed. Ensuring that Think Together students reach their potential takes a tremendous amount of hard work, flexibility, and commitment.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><strong>ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:</strong>    </p>\n<ul>\n <li>Lead a group of approximately 25 students in an instructional setting, maintaining high standards for behavior and safety by implementing the Think Together four core agreements:<li>Be responsible</li><li>Be respectful</li><li>Be safe</li><li>Have fun</li></li>\n <li>Serve as a positive adult role model for older youth in the program through appropriate dress, speech, and attitude.</li>\n <li>Provide homework assistance, academic enrichment and physical activity, using curriculum and materials provided by the program.</li>\n <li>Create an engaging environment that fosters a sense of belonging that older youth want to be in.</li>\n <li>Support older youth in making positive behavior choices and take disciplinary measures when appropriate.</li>\n <li>Engage older youth by following, implementing, and assisting in creating lesson plans.</li>\n <li>Provide general instruction that is “active” through different exposures – seeing, touching, and doing.
