We are looking for ambitious high school students looking to make an impact by acting as team captains for their teams at the National High School Leadership Conference.

1. A High School Coordinator acts as a team captain where he or she is in charge of forming their own group of 5 members (including themselves) to attend the conference and compete in the case challenges. If you apply and get accepted, you are the only one in your team who is a high school coordinator, while your team members are general participants.

2. Your responsibilities are: prestigiously representing the Illuminate and its national partners' brands, form your own group to compete and be an ambassador for what Illuminate has to offer in your community. 

3. Commitment is 1 - 2 weeks. After being a high school coordinator, you qualify to become a national lead at Illuminate where you can host your own regional Illuminate Conference with an Illuminate license and Illuminate resources.

Your commitment hours are flexible but like any other role: The more you put into it, the more you get out of it!

Our High School Coordinator Program is designed to finish within 1-2 weeks of enrolling. 

This application will take you approximately 10 minutes. Once you apply, we will email if you qualify for pre-approval. With pre-approval status, you will have to find four other students to work with as a team within a 7 day period. After this period, you will be emailed again to submit your team members. You'll then get the chance to schedule an approval confirmation interview, which is 15 minutes, with a Senior National Lead to confirm your status and answer any questions you might have. The interviews must be scheduled within 24 hours after you receive the email. Please note that spots to the program are limited and students are accepted on a rolling basis. So fill out this application as soon as you can. We aren't looking for a perfect application (there is no such thing), what we are looking for is your eagerness to learn and help others through Illuminate.

Attend a conference for free.

The benefits of being a High School Coordinator are volunteer hours (depending on your commitment input), unlimited reference checks, reference letters, leadership certificate.

Ambassadors get less volunteer hours and also don't get the reference letter.
