UO Division of Undergraduate Education and Student Success (UESS)

“I really appreciated the opportunity to work with high school aged students in a co-leadership capacity. It allowed role-modeling, vital experience for a future teacher, and experience in learning to manage a group of teens which involves a lot of improvising! Also, while the ice breakers in the beginning were a bit of a drag... I really did appreciate their power by the end of the program (and this is coming from a very introverted person!). Last thing: as a first-generation, low-income college student, being able to work with high school students from that same broad background (usually, sometimes) was an empowering experience and I think it mattered a lot. Overall, this was just a really fun and extremely beneficial program to have been a part of. Want to make a difference and/or work with teens? Do a summer of SAIL! ”

“Amazing program, people and community!”
