Chelsea Center
Experiential Education Opportunities for ALL students
Spotlight on Helping Path Summer Experiences
The Chelsea Center maintains a database of summer opportunities to help students stretch their wings, follow their passions, and build their skills for competitive application processes. All regional opportunities we amplify are listed in the GivePulse database accessible to students at wgsd.givepulse.com via their WGSD Google Login credentials. We’ve also listed many of the various opportunities for you below.
This week we are highlighting some of the opportunities on the Helping Path. These opportunities--and more--are listed on GivePulse.
Students considering a future profession in teaching can take advantage of:
Also considered to be part of the Helping Path are law, advocacy, and hospitality. Students can follow their interests in those areas through
These opportunities can be coordinated-- and possibly funded-- through the Chelsea Center for WGHS elective credit.
Summer opportunities listed on GivePulse are open to all WGHS students who meet the requirements of the experience. Some experiences are fee-based registrations and fill quickly. Others require a selective application process controlled by the institution, not Team Chelsea. Students and families may register for these events independently of the Chelsea Center. However, if students want to earn credit and potentially receive funding, registrations and applications must be coordinated with the Chelsea Center.
You may apply to receive funding to cover the cost of both fee-based and selective experiences, so please see us in the Chelsea Center PRIOR to making any deposit. Receiving Chelsea Center funding for your experience has two requirements:
- Make no payments or deposits prior to speaking with Team Chelsea. We cannot (by law) provide complementary coursework enrollment with WGHS elective credit and/or scholarship payment once any kind of payment is made by a student or family.
- Simultaneous enrollment in a Chelsea Center Passion Pursuit course that wraps goal setting and reflection work around your desired experience.
To apply, register here on GivePulse, then come visit the Chelsea Center. You may apply to receive funding to cover the cost, so please see us in the Chelsea Center PRIOR to making any deposit. Simultaneous enrollment in a Chelsea Center Passion Pursuit course that wraps goal setting and reflection work around your desired experience is required to receive funding..

Reminder: We can help students who are pursuing their A+ hours find connections to service learning that include the mentorship or job shadowing components the A+ program requires. Have your students stop by to talk with us, or independently explore their GivePulse account opportunity listings by using their school google email credentials at wgsd.givepulse.com.
