Local Coordinator Tracker Video
After watching this 8:30 video, the Local Coordinator will:
1. Know where to organize information about their school and key person networks.
2. Know to find the introductory documents in the Sending Partner Folder
3. Know how to work with their LC Coach with "Action Items" tab and on the "LC Dashboard" tab
Introduction to the Local Coordinator Shared Folder
The LC Shared Folder is a Google Drive shared folder that has copious videos and informative PDFs to help you understand the process of becoming an effective Local Coordinator. As you read the articles in Folder 1.0 Getting Started and 2.0 Prizes, Calendars, and Great Articles you'll understand the Local Coordinator's role and HSUSA's culture. You don't have to read all of the articles, but please read the documents listed under "GETTING STARTED" on the Local Coordinator Tracker.
There are many videos of host families and students to inspire you. On the left is a video of Karen from Egypt with her host mom Amy.
Introduction to the Local Coordinator Coaches
Weekly, or on the schedule that you set, you'll have a chance to connect with your coach until you're fully acclimated to the Local Coordinator role. Are you interested in becoming a coach with HSUSA? Our coaches lead by example. Place 10 students in a year and you've earned the right to coach others in the process. *LCs who have placed 10+ students outside of HSUSA are able to be "grandfathered" into HSUSA's coaching opportunities once they learn the HSUSA coaching system.
