During the program, they will assist in facilitation of multiple activities and serve as the point-of-contact for the students in the cabin overnight (full-time staff will be on site to help, but housed separately). Students interested in this role should be excited about leadership development and community building. Previous participation in Jump is not required, but familiarity with leadership programming is highly encouraged.

• Create a leadership module based in goal setting, personal growth, goal attainment, or a related area

• Facilitate activities and discussions throughout the JUMP weekend

• Help organize the JUMP facilitators to aid in activities and discussions

• Provide input into the design of the activities, structure, and goals for the retreat

• Serve as point-of-contact in cabins overnight

Qualifications:

• Current and continuing student at University of Delaware (Spring 2025 & Fall 2025)

• Experience participating in leadership programs

• Interest in education, training, leadership, and facilitation

Schedule:

This job will begin in April, and have a flexible schedule from April until September, including summer break.

The assistant can do this work remotely, with the exception of occasional in-person meetings with the supervisor and the weekend of the retreat. The student assistant will be expected to be available 1 weekend in September, the date of which will be announced later.

The role will wrap up in October 2025.
