Give new students a welcome packet and tour of the school with a map showing them their classes and important locations on campus.
Ensure new students eat lunch with someone and help them feel acclimated and comfortable.
Check back with new students after a few days and weeks to see how they are adjusting.
Host social events and meetings for new students and current members to learn about each other and build new connections.
Engage in school and community service projects that exemplify the core values of the program and offer students the opportunity to connect with others.
Educate the principal, school staff, parents, and community about the program’s mission.
Provide a meaningful way to say goodbye once they learn a student is moving.
Seek guidance from their sponsor if they notice a new student or current member is having difficulties or may need additional support.
