Fall 2020 Update

We are excited to announce we will be hosting a VIRTUAL LINK CREW ORIENTATION on Wednesday, August 26th at 11:00 am. Freshman students will receive a link to a Google Meet on their school email. Freshmen will be connected with two upperclassmen leaders who will provide support and guidance for their freshman year. They will cover critical material about how to succeed in distanced learning. Please mark your calendars and remind your freshman to check their email. If you have any questions please reach out to Hilary Jimenez or Katie Rinella. 

About Link Crew

Link Crew is a high school transition program that welcomes freshmen and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their high school experience. Founded by the Boomerang Project, built on the belief that students can help students succeed, Link Crew trains mentors from North Tahoe junior and seniors to be Link Crew Leaders. As positive role models, Link Crew Leaders are mentors and student leaders who guide the freshmen to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to high school and help facilitate freshman success.

Link Crew is a year long transition program with four components that contribute to its success:

  • High School Orientation - Link Leaders and freshmen start building the mentor relationship and freshmen receive information about how to be successful in high school
  • Academic Follow Ups - Link Leaders support freshman academic success and character development through structured classroom visits
  • Social Follow Ups - Link Leaders and freshmen connect outside the classroom at social events to increase student engagement, and promote positive school climate
  • Leader Initiated Contacts - Link Leaders connect with their freshmen on a more individual basis
"Relationships before registration."
​- Link Crew motto
