One of the goals of our program is to equip all members with important knowledge and skills before they begin serving at their host sites. In keeping with our goal of fully engaging all members to the best of their abilities, we also expect that more-experienced members with strong skills play a supportive role. As part of your service experience, you will participate in team-based activities designed to enhance your skills in communication, conflict resolution, planning, evaluating, problem-solving, presentations, project development, and much more. You will also receive specific training from the host sites that sponsor the project on which you will be working.
