The NSLC is looking for Team Advisors (TAs) for the Summer of 2024. TAs guide students through their NSLC experience – serving as facilitators, presenters, simulation monitors, and resident advisors. The TA position is an opportunity to serve as a mentor and role model for talented young students and share your passion and knowledge of topics within the field of interest.

The Role:

Each TA is responsible for a small group of 12-16 students. TAs arrive on-site 5 days prior to student arrival to participate in a mandatory 4-day orientation & training. This training runs from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM daily. Following training, TAs will work for 9-day sessions with a 3-day break in between. TAs work very long days and are expected to be ready to assist students at any point during the program. A typical day lasts from 9:00 AM – 10:30 PM.

Responsibilities:

• Lead small group discussions and debriefings
• Teach academic and leadership sessions, as well as set up and break down activities
• Assist administrative staff, professors, and leadership facilitators with program components
• Serve as a chaperone during off-campus trips and evening social activities
• Reside in the dormitory on the same floors as students, serving as a Resident Advisor

Qualifications:

• TAs are generally current college sophomores – seniors. Current freshmen are generally considered for our Assistant Team Advisor (ATA) position
• NSLC has a primary focus on leadership development. Applicants should have leadership experience and/or training
• Our programs include TA-led sessions that require appropriate educational backgrounds and work/volunteer/intern experience

Compensation:

TAs will be paid $900 at the end of each session. The NSLC pays for room & board, meals during each session (most of which are eaten in the dining hall on campus), and transportation to and from the conference.
