Advisor's Responsibilities
As an Advisor, you are the backbone of your chapter's success! Your guidance helps shape the next generation of compassionate leaders while ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
The Advisor is the adult supervisor who oversees the chapter's operations, ensuring it runs safely, stays organized, and has the support it needs to succeed.
Important: This role cannot be filled by a parent or guardian. It must be filled by a school official.
How to Guide Your Leaders
Your primary role is to empower your Chapter Leaders to step into their roles with confidence. You can help them by:
Encouraging Accountability: Motivate leaders to stay on top of their designated chapter duties.
Inspiring Your Volunteers:
-Help Chapter Leaders rally their fellow volunteers to actively:
-Attend chapter meetings, GG Senior Home Visits, and GG National events.
-Write reflective journals after their visits.
-Earn the Intergenerational Service Award to unlock elite perks like college scholarships, recommendation letters, and LinkedIn endorsements from our CEO.
Key Responsibilities
To keep the chapter thriving, we look to our Advisors to handle a few essential logistics:
Stay Connected: Support your Chapter Leaders locally, maintain an open line of communication with GG National, and stay engaged with our advisor network and current Signature Campaigns to help promote chapter awareness and involvement.
Support Student Leadership: Ensure all four student leadership positions (President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Public Relations Officer) are filled at the start of each term, and help onboard new student leaders as leadership transitions occur.
Provide Adult Oversight: Offer guidance and supervision for chapter activities (including Senior Home Visits, meetings, and fundraisers) as required by your school or organizational policies.
Navigate School Policy: Help students reserve classrooms for meetings, secure permission to post flyers around campus, and support compliance with any school requirements for chapter activities.
Keep Records Up to Date: Post events and submit service reports promptly after they conclude so volunteers receive timely credit for their service hours.
*We at GG National completely understand that every school and senior facility has its own unique safety and volunteer policies. Your local school and facility guidelines always take priority!
