Building Leaders On & Off the Ice

Snider offers soft skill workshops and service-learning projects designed to build employability skills. Students will benefit from career exploration initiatives, connections to jobs and internships,  and structured and reflective service-learning opportunities that includes community clean ups, volunteer coaching opportunities and professional workshops.

The Snider Leadership Council gives our high school students the opportunity to enhance leadership skills and use members’ voices and perspectives to improve Snider programs. The Leadership Council consists of current high school students who have been recognized as high-achieving student-athletes who are highly engaged in programs and shown a desire to develop on and off the ice. The Leadership Council meets regularly and participates in a book club, Snider feedback assignments, professional development workshops, and leadership skill building activities.

Our Junior Coach Program is a service-learning opportunity for all Snider high school-aged students to build employability skills through volunteer coaching. Junior Coaches serve as Snider community leaders by inspiring the next generation of skaters through on-ice program support.
