For first-time Global Days of Service (GDS) Site Leaders, organizing your first project might feel overwhelming. That's why each GDS project leader will be assigned to a Site Liason.

Before you are connected to a Site Liason, you'll fill out a site leader form with all the details of your project. In this video, current online student and GDS site leader, Aleesa Fairley walks you through the steps of completing the form and provides additional details to consider when coordinating with your chosen nonprofit or facility. Ready to get started on your site leader form? Visit alumni.snhu.edu/gds-lead for more.
