What is the Link Crew Program all about?
Link Crew is a high school transition program at Fort Dorchester to welcome freshmen and make them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their high school experience. Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, Link Crew will train juniors and seniors to be Link Leaders. As positive role models, Link Leaders are motivators, leaders and teachers who guide the freshmen to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to high school.
One of our goals at Fort Dorchester is to increase freshmen success, and the Link Crew program will help us do that. More and more studies are showing that if students have a positive experience their first year in high school, their chances for success increase dramatically. The Link Crew high school transition program provides the structure for freshmen to receive support and guidance from juniors and seniors who have been through the challenges that high school poses and understand that the transition to a larger school can sometimes be overwhelming.
