Mentors Can Be Leaders Too!
Dedicated leaders are the key to the site’s successful implantation of the Dreamfar program. Dreamfar provides the structure and guidance to implement the program, and the leaders oversee the application of the program at their sites.
Leaders are encouraged to train with their students on weekdays and Saturdays with the mentors, but are not required to do so.
Leader responsibilities include:
Recruiting students to participate in the program
Overseeing students’ marathon training including creating training routes, securing meeting locations, and maintaining attendance
Enforcing Dreamfar policies including proper precautions relating to safety and behavior
Supervising weekly after school training runs and attend race events with their students
Communicating program information with students, parents, school administration
Maintaining contact with Dreamfar staff, including checking and responding to Dreamfar email regularly
