Student Positions
There are several student teams connected to the Office of Community-Engaged Leadership that coordinate events and programs for campus and the local community. Taking on a student leader role is a great way to develop your leadership skills, continue learning, build your resume, make a difference, and network with staff and peers. Most student positions are year-long, with applications typically opening each spring semester.
The application will be linked here, once it is open!
CEL Student Leader Roles
These students coordinate and promote sponsored projects and events, facilitate presentations and reflection sessions, and engage the campus in awareness and social change activities. Many of these positions are paid and members volunteer on various branches of involvement including the LEAD Team, Alternative Service Experiences, App State Voter Coalition, Blood Drive Committee, Community Fellows, and Days of Service Committee!
Trailhead Student Staff
The Trailhead Experience is a three-day program that prepares incoming first-year and transfer students for life at Appalachian State University. Several student guides help staff coordinate the agenda and run activities to ensure a successful event for 200 incoming App State students.
