LinkCrew™ is a highly successful program in place in high schools all over the U.S. The program operates by organizing a group of selected campus leaders--seniors and juniors--who act as mentors and positive role models for freshmen students. These Link Leaders begin before the school year with two days of extensive training. Then they lead activities during an interactive frosh orientation where 9th graders meet their Link Leaders, each other, and their school. Each freshman student is assigned to a group of 10-12 other freshmen and one or two Link Leaders. Link Leaders continue to support their student Crew by meeting with them weekly, inviting them to school functions, and assisting them academically. Through this program, the school is expected to become a comfortable environment where new students find support and success all year long, and continuing students find a place where a positive, supportive attitude is encouraged and reflected in their peers. (For more information about training for Link Crew, visit the Official Link Crew Program website: www.linkcrew.com)

The Link Crew Coordinators are Craig Grivel and Tracy Ramondini.
