The lead instructor is responsible for development and facilitation of programming while ensuring the safety and well-being of all members of the group. Also, offers an authentic hands-on experiential learning activity during scheduled calendar breaks. To learn more about YRE and our program, visit our YRE page by clicking HERE!
