LEVEL 1:
When people join On The Verge, they enter “Level 1” as members of a new OTV group. Each group is comprised of 15 young people who commit to 12 months of intensive personal, interpersonal and professional development. In one year, Level 1 Vergers receive one-on-one and small group coaching; attend a total of four retreats; assess their personal strengths and challenges; participate in facilitated group reflection; develop individual learning plans; carry out collaborative projects; and participate in planning and producing a deeply meaningful graduation. The 12 months are broken into four overlapping focus areas:
| TIME PERIOD | COMPONENTS |
| Months 1-3 |
|
| Months 4-6 |
|
| Months 7-9 |
|
| Months 10-12 |
|
LEVEL 2:
At the conclusion of Level 1, Vergers graduate in a public event at which they share insights and accomplishments with friends and family members. Once Vergers graduate from Level 1, they have the option to join Level 2. Level 2 Vergers re-commit to the OTV principles of leadership in action and serve as the mobilizers and visionaries of On The Verge.
Vergers who join Level 2 commit to be active agents of change and empowerment within their own organizations. In addition, all Level 2 Vergers provide leadership within an existing Level 1 Verger group. Each Level 2 Verger may choose to facilitate a discussion group, serve as retreat staff, convene a peer-to-peer leadership development group or serve as an individual coach.
