Why become a Crew Leader:		  
  Leading a Sustainable Crew can be fun, informative and extremely rewarding. Crew Leaders are volunteers who may or may not be receiving extra credit for their service. Many of the skills you learn as a Crew Leader can be applied in other settings, such as at work, at university, within extracurricular group experiences, etc. Crew Leaders enhance their university applications, develop public speaking and interpersonal communication skills, learn to facilitate meetings, share their passion concerning the environment, meet new friends, and help the planet by promoting sustainability concepts.
