Role of Highschool Leader: 
They are to motivate and lead a group of about 5-8 middle schoolers.  They are to participate in every aspect of Summer Stretch: prayer and gospel; service; and team-building activities.  This is a very rewarding peer mentor opportunity.

Role of Parent Chaperone: 
The parents are integral to the Summer Stretch experience.  Every parent has the opportunity to help during service and help chaperone morning and afternoon activities.  Each parent willing to help will need the appropriate background and drivers check, and have Virtus training.
