Q 1 (Focus on Moral Compromise)

Q1. Describe a situation where you were tempted to compromise your ethical standards or values as a youth leader. What pressures did you face? How did you resist those pressures, or, if you did compromise, what were the consequences and what did you learn from that experience? Be brutally honest in your self-assessment; your answer will be evaluated on the depth of your self-reflection, not on the absence of flaws. Max 1000 characters

Q2. (Focus on Failure and Vulnerability)

Q2. Recount a time you significantly failed a young person under your care. Don't just describe the event; delve into your emotional response to the failure. How did you feel? How did this failure impact your self-perception as a leader? What steps did you take to repair the damage, and how did this experience change your approach to leadership and your understanding of your own limitations?

Q3. (Focus on Bias and Self-Awareness)

Q3. Reflect on your own biases and prejudices. How might these biases, conscious or unconscious, have influenced your interactions with the youth you serve? Provide specific examples, and discuss the steps you've taken or plan to take to mitigate the impact of these biases on your leadership and create a more equitable and inclusive environment for all young people.

Q4. (Focus on Difficult Relationships)
