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.
