About ACTION

The ACTION Leadership Program empowers Crosby Scholars to develop character, engagement, and networking skills while representing the program in their schools and communities.

At the heart of this initiative are the Leaders in ACTION — students who serve as the face of Crosby Scholars at each school across Rowan County. These leaders act as liaisons between their classmates and the Crosby Scholars staff, helping to share important information, answer questions, and promote the mission of the program.

Because Crosby staff cannot always be on campus, ACTION Leaders play a vital role in keeping students informed and connected. Through their participation in service projects, extracurricular activities, and community initiatives, ACTION Leaders strengthen their own skills while helping grow the visibility and impact of the Crosby Scholars program.

Responsibilities of ACTION Leaders

  • Represent Crosby Scholars at school events such as Open Houses, Orientations, and information sessions.
  • Assist the Crosby staff member assigned to their campus as needed.
  • Maintain the Crosby Scholars bulletin board by keeping materials current and engaging.
  • Post and remove Crosby flyers around campus when needed.
  • Coordinate with classmates to ensure the Crosby Scholars yearbook photo is scheduled and completed..
  • Meet with Crosby staff at least once per semester (or as needed) for updates and training.
