Recruiting the team
The ideal team size for all World Challenge groups is between 12 to 16 Challengers. This is so each Challenger gets the most out of their in-country experience and are able to manage the tasks and leadership responsibilities they are given on the ground. For all of our destinations we can accommodate more than 12 on a team, and team averages are generally about 14 – 16 students. Some schools even recruit multiple teams to the same destination!
World Challenge facilitates the recruitment process. The best way to let students and parents to know about this opportunity is by scheduling World Challenge staff to present to your students and parents.
Your role as a School Leader is to help schedule these recruitment meetings, advertise with in the school with materials provided by World Challenge, and ensure attendance at all scheduled recruitment events.
World Challenge will run the following recruitment meetings for all expeditions...
Student Assembly: A World Challenge representative will deliver a 10 – 15 minute presentation on the World Challenge program to your specified grades and destination.
Parent Information Evening: A World Challenge representative will present the program to parents of interested students. Students are encouraged to attend as well. This meeting will run for approximately one hour on an evening of your choice. World Challenge will follow up with all families who attend the Parent Information Evening to answer any questions and encourage attendance at the Launch Meeting.
Launch Meeting: The initial meeting of all interested students which takes place after school with a World Challenge representative. This meeting runs 60 – 90 minutes. Applications and deposits will be collected at this meeting.
