What is LINK Crew?

Link Crew is a fantastic way to give back to your community, and we welcome all applicants with open arms. Be involved! This commitment means that you will be helping to welcome new Ballard students and fostering a strong bond between our current and new community members and participating in community-building events throughout the year.

This is also a great way to earn Service-Learning Hours! 

Ballard HS has a Link Crew Program which is a national high school program that welcomes freshmen and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their high school experience. Link Crew trains members of the Junior and Senior class to be Link Leaders.

Getting a diverse group of leaders from all corners of Ballard High School is vital to creating a group that will engage all members of school. 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.

Apply Today Due May 8, 2026
