Thanks for your interest in the position of Chaperone for the Longmont Sister Cities Association student exchange program. This position is vitally important to the success of the student exchange. Chaperones have the opportunity to work with a small group of the finest youth in the St.Vrain Valley School area.
Two delegations of no more than eight students and two chaperones will be selected. One group will travel to our sister city in Chino, Japan and the other group will travel to our sister city in Ciudad Guzmán, México.
Applications:
Applications must be submitted (Not Postmarked) to the Office of the City Manager, 350 Kimbark Street, Longmont, 80501 by 5:00 pm on Friday, January 15, 2010. Download the Chaperone Application!
Chaperones can expect reimbursement for travel expenses.
Chaperones can expect reimbursement for travel expenses upon completion of the three portions of their commitment: Pre-trip activities, summer exchange and post-trip activities. Details are spelled out in the Chaperone agreement. The exchange program takes place in late July through early August, and chaperones are expected to participate in the hosting phase as well as the travel phase. Reimbursement does not cover personal spending money and gifts.
Orientation sessions and fund raising activities.
Orientation sessions and fund raising activities will take place during the spring and early summer. Chaperones are expected to plan and carry out orientation sessions, and to participate in fund raisers. LSCA members and parents of Student Ambassadors are involved in the planning of fund raisers.
During the school year following the exchange, Student Ambassadors are expected to make presentations to classrooms and community organizations. Chaperones will work with the Student Ambassadors to create and coordinate these presentations. Although the Longmont Sister Cities Association members will assist with the student exchange program, the position of Chaperone is very time consuming as it is also rewarding. The home stay experience in our Sister Cities is a lifelong memory.

Please Note:
Applicant must be a current resident and/or work in the area bounded by the St.Vrain Valley School District. The successful candidate
