Student Facilitators

Student Facilitators collaborate with Manito-wish staff, Super Student Facilitators, and Rotary Facilitators to deliver a successful conference.  Specifically, Student Facilitators are expected to:

• Role model their leadership talents—amplified by their experience as participants in the previous year’s conference—and, most importantly;
• Help this year’s conference participants understand how they can transfer/use what they learn through their experience into their lives back at home, school, and in the community.

Because Student Facilitators are the peers of the participants, the participants look to them first as leaders.  How Student Facilitators model their leadership skills to their peers is very important to the success of the conference.

Student Facilitators are also responsible for teaching the Collaborative Leadership Model through an experiential method including the Seven Qualities of Collaborative Leadership, cooperative games, trust activities, problem-solving initiatives, low/high challenge course elements, and group processing.  Student Facilitators may be asked by Camp Manito-wish staff to directly assist them in facilitating these and other activities.

Anyone who was a participant at the RYLA Conference is eligible to serve as a Student Facilitator at an upcoming conference.
