Program Facilitator REAL Leadership Experience (RLE)

Application Deadline: March 9, 2026 
 
Purpose 
The REAL Leadership Experience (RLE) offers two volunteer facilitator roles: the large group facilitator role and the small group facilitator role. Both facilitators will deliver content at Gamma Phi Beta's RLE event. RLE is an in-person leadership event designed for first- and second-year collegiate members who have not held an executive council role. 
 
Individuals in the large group facilitator role will deliver large group sessions designed to introduce new concepts to RLE participants related to leadership and cultivating personal leadership skills. Individuals in the small group facilitator role will deliver content with a small group of six to eight RLE participants. Content in the small group facilitator role will center on relationship development, reflection on large-group content and personal leadership development. Both RLE facilitator roles are open to alumnae of Gamma Phi Beta. 
 
For 2026 RLE programming, we are seeking approximately two large group facilitators and five small group facilitators who will guide RLE participants through the program curriculum. All selected individuals will participate in RLE in-person programming. Gamma Phi Beta will reimburse airfare, mileage, lodging and travel meals during the event.
