Children's and Teen'sLeadership
Below you will find a list of our current leadership roles in the Tijuana Children’s and Teen Programs and a description of each of these roles.
As we have discussed, as travelers become experienced in the program they are expected to step into leadership roles in the program. Some of the roles that require pre trip planning or continuity each day are already assigned. Many of the roles can be switched daily and thus you can start to find your favorites. Some may already know what they like and can choose to stay with a role for several days.
Children's and Teen's Program
Organize and run the Children’s programs and are ultimately responsible for the program.
Craft/Activity Coordinators: The craft coordinators are in charge of getting the crafts ready for each day and explaining the crafts to the group in the morning meeting. The craft coordinators bring out the needed supplies for the day and direct the room set ups with the runner and craft/table lead. The craft coordinators adjust the crafts for supply or other concerns when needed.
Outdoor Program Leads: The outdoor leaders are in charge of running the outdoor activities for the program. The outdoor leaders are responsible for organizing the activities and having all of the equipment and safety barriers ready for the day. The outdoor program ensures that all children stay with in the boundaries established at each site. There must be at least two people in the outdoor program and one must speak Spanish.
Children’s Site Translator and Trouble Shooter: The site translator makes all the daily announcements and calls out all needed rotations and group changes such as snack time or new games.
