Spartans lead, serve during pandemic with Leadership Challenge program
COVID-19 changed a lot about campus life, from classes to extracurricular activities. But this semester, Spartans still found a way to get involved, develop their leadership skills, and serve the community.
Over 350 Spartans participated in UNC Greensboro’s Leadership Challenge Program, and 41 of those students completed about 800 hours of service, despite being in the middle of a pandemic.
Coordinated by the Office of Leadership and Civic Engagement, the program engages students in leadership education, training, and development through service opportunities on and off campus. The goal of the program is to prepare students to serve as lifelong change-makers in the global community.

Covid-19 Service Protocols
SERVING WITH OLCE
At this time OLCE is offering very limited opportunities for in-person community service throughout the fall semester. We will be offering a modified version of our Catalyst program and Days of Service. Here are some of the precautions we are taking:
- All service sites will be in Guilford County, with an emphasis on on-campus, walking distance, and outdoor opportunities.
- All projects will be 10 people or less indoors and 25 or less outdoors, including student leaders and community partners.
- All individuals involved will be screened for COVID symptoms before participating.
- All individuals involved will be required to social distance, wear a face covering, and practice appropriate cleanliness (frequent handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, etc.).
- Face coverings, hand sanitizer, and any other necessary safety equipment will be provided to participants.
- We will take extra precautions and minimize interaction with high-risk community populations, most service projects will be indirect service or direct service that does not involve person-to-person contact.
- Participant information will be recorded in the event that contact tracing is required.
