DEADLINE TO APPLY:
The conference will take place June 20th - June 23rd, 2024 at UC Merced, in Merced, CA.
Facilitators will be required to attend a training on June 19th, 2024 prior to the start of the conference.
Lakaar Facilitators are THE key component to making the conference experience inspirational, education, comfortable and ultimately successful. Being a Lalkaar Facilitator is a duty as you are the ambassadors of the conference. We are looking for individuals that are responsible, can construct an environment for open dialogue, and are committed and passionate about the key issues that effect our community. Facilitators are preferably a second year in college or beyond. Please note that in order for our Facilitators to be thoroughly prepared we require a training process.
The training process will include at least 2 Online trainings prior to the conference and the June 19th in person training. This will prepare facilitators to be confident, well-versed, and well-prepared with the material. We will provide a resource guide on how to successfully create an open and safe environment for participants to discourse about sensitive topics.
Facilitators will be evaluated by a number of metrics, including the professionalism and attention to detail in their applications and interviews. Those that fail to live up to the standard of professionalism that the committee expects from all contributors will not receive further consideration for a facilitator/staff position in this year’s conference.
If asked, we expect that facilitators will assist in providing rides for participants from their region to the conference, and/or during the conference.
Facilitators are asked to contribute monetarily to help cover conference costs, Hotel and Meals for 4 days are included in your contribution. If you are unable to contribute monetarily but still want to facilitate at Lalkaar, please reach out to sonia@jakara.org.
