Why become a Team Supervisor?
“Through my experience as a Team Supervisor, I learned about the importance of being intentional, empathetic, and patient. I was challenged in a myriad of ways, while consistently being encouraged to be the best version of myself. BGR, as a whole, has allowed me to grow into the leader I have always wanted to be by surrounding myself with welcoming and genuine individuals!”

“My Team Supervisor experience and BGR as a whole, have made me into the leader I am today. Throughout being a supervisor, I was supported by my fellow supers and friends who never made me go through anything alone."
