Become a Student Leader with LEAD

LEAD is an experiential leadership program for undergraduate students who want to support new students during important stages of their transition to university.

Trained LEAD volunteers contribute to programs such as:

  • Head Start;
  • Welcome Week;
  • Winter Orientation; and
  • other student transition and engagement initiatives.

Through these experiences, LEAD volunteers develop communication, teamwork, problem-solving, event-support, and peer-mentorship skills. They also help create a welcoming and inclusive campus environment while making meaningful connections with students and colleagues.

Learn more about LEAD recognition and benefits for student leaders.
