We are looking for student leaders with enthusiasm, love for service and a desire to share a service experience with a group of committed students and perhaps faculty / staff. Previous spring break Y-Trip or group service experience is an asset but not a requirement. Most important is your ability to demonstrate strong leadership, communication and organizational skills. The following set of criteria is designed to give us information about your experience and skills in a variety of areas. Spring Break Y-Trip leaders will receive 50% off their personal Y-Trip fee as appreciation for their leadership.
