Join Our Student Volunteer Faculty

About Student Faculty (High School and College)

Crossover wants to add mindful, creative, motivated young leaders, like those searching for an opportunity like this, who are thoughtful about impacting change and creating hope for marginalized students while finding out more about themselves. This is an applied volunteer position which is open to high school or college students living in the United States or Canada.

As a student faculty member you will work alongside some of the brightest students and campus thought-leaders who use basketball to teach leadership, gender equity, character, teamwork, and communication and write and reflect on how to further impact change. This program offers an unparalleled experience to learn and grow as a leader while using sport as an agent of change.

As a Student Faculty Member, you will:

• Travel to Chennai, India to live, learn, and create with fellow faculty while impacting change
• Use social media to promote, share, and engage new and existing Crossover supporters and donors
• Continue to help Crossover become more familiar to families and schools around the US and Canada
• Grow as a public speaker, project manager, and leader

Alumni of the program will receive:

• Letters of Recommendation and References
• Invitations to speak on behalf of Crossover
• Connections with other Crossover Alumni, Board Members, and our extended network
• Depth and understanding of their leadership style and ability to work as a team under pressure.

Expectations
The Crossover Student Faculty position allows students to participate as more than a supporter/fan and take a large step towards being a leader at the forefront of creating impact and change. Our vision is that students gain practical experience as a leader while allowing opportunities to simultaneously reflect and grow.

Program Commitment:
Once accepted as part of Team Crossover – students are expected to attend virtual Skype leadership and engagement sessions prior to the summer, provide transportation to and from Boston’s Logan Airport, have all legal documents signed and submitted, payment fully completed, and abide by the expectations of conduct.

Time Commitment:
The Hoops Creating Hope program is approximately 2 weeks. Students are expected to be fully engaged and with Team Crossover during the full duration. This is not a service-tourism trip (hanging out on the beach, visiting spas, bungee jumping) or a chance to visit extended family “in-between sessions.”
