ELECTIVES
ELECTIVE INTEREST FORM
Electives are an integral part of the UNITE Students experience! For 45-minute sessions, students are invited to engage in interactive, engaging, transforming ways. This is an opportunity for students to build relationships with new friends around the state, learn new skills, create new things, and build lasting memories.
The possibility of electives is limitless! This is a space to lead crafts or teach crafty skills (like crochet), practice life skills (like car maintenance), learn about interesting topics in an engaging way (baking cookies while talking about criminal justice), create art (blackout poetry and drawing), physical movement (holy yoga, sports tournaments, or other games), cooperative games (DnD or Magic the Gathering), interactive arts (improv, choir, and drama), and so much more!
Please fill out the form below to indicate your interest in leading an elective at UNITE Students! If you would like assistance in growing your idea or making it more engaging and accessible to students, please indicate that in the form and a UNITE team member will reach out to dream with you.
We’re excited to see what gifts, talents, or experiences that you’re interested in sharing with our students!
