Student Leadership

The NGSC is a leadership development program designed to guide students in their journey to becoming character-driven leaders through social change practice and engagement with their social mission. Each member of the NGSC is required to serve in a titled leadership role for a minimum of one semester to successfully graduate from the program. Serving in a titled leadership role provides students the opportunity to practice the leadership skills they are learning and apply classroom concepts to real world situations. This is a critical aspect of their journey to becoming a character-driven leader.


Students fulfill this expectation in one of two ways. First, the NGSC offers students the opportunity to serve in 50+ titled student leadership roles; such as Chief of Staff, Committee Chair, or Mission Team Leader. As there are a limited number of NGSC Leadership positions offered each year, students can also serve in leadership positions outside of the NGSC to successfully fulfill this requirement. Students have the option to serve in numerous leadership roles within the community, at work, or as a student club officer on campus.


The NGSC believes leaders can be taught and mentored to reach their greatest potential. As a member of the program, students will gain valuable leadership skills and learn leadership theories to guide their journey to becoming character-driven leaders. Upon completion of a titled leadership role, students would have experience in the following skills and concepts.

  • Team Building 
  • Decision Making 
  • Problem-Solving 
  • Goal Setting 
  • Time Management
  • Effective Communication
  • Project Planning 
  • Conflict Resolution 
  • And moreā€¦
