Facilitate Weekly Workshops
Lead the cohort's weekly EF workshops — opening the room, guiding discussion, and translating curriculum into language peers actually use.

The Lead Mentor sits at the center of the mentor program. You facilitate the weekly workshops, run the check-ins, lead the work sessions, and hold every peer mentor accountable for actually using the strategies they teach. It is the most demanding — and most formative — role in the EF Leadership Institute.

The Role
This is not a title. It is a weekly practice of facilitation, coaching, and evaluation — built around six core responsibilities.
Lead the cohort's weekly EF workshops — opening the room, guiding discussion, and translating curriculum into language peers actually use.
Set the emotional tone. Share your own EF struggles, name what is hard, and model the honesty the cohort needs to grow.
Run weekly check-ins with every peer mentor on your team. Listen first, then coach on what is working, what is stuck, and what to try next.
Host and lead structured work sessions where mentors and freshmen actually apply the strategies — planning, prioritizing, initiating tasks together.
Ensure mentors are using the EF strategies taught each week with their freshmen — not just understanding them, but applying them in real pairings.
Deliver clear, written performance evaluations for each mentor on a regular cadence. Celebrate growth, name gaps, and set the next benchmark.
Who We're Looking For
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. The Lead Mentor cohort caps at three students per academic year.
