To register as a delegation coordinator, you will first need to take the following steps:

  1. Talk with a faculty member at your school who you think will be supportive.  Then, with that faculty member, approach your school’s administration with a request to consider approving of the concept.  Also talk with your parents about your desire to lead a ninth grade delegation from your school.
  2. If you meet with approval, you’ll then need to organize a group of up to six ninth graders and a faculty or parent advisor to accompany the group to .  Your advisor will need to look into school guidelines for overnight trips and transportation for the group.
  3. Encourage members of your delegation to register using the student forms.  Registration forms must be printed, completed, and submitted with a $30 payment by mail postmarked on or before April 1, 2008.
