Group/Family Leader Training

Our Group/Family Leader Training has been developed by people who have years of experience in community ministry. The perspective you will receive is one based on a work that has been ongoing in the North Central West Virginia Region and is combined with more than 50 years of World Vision's ministry experience worldwide. The training focuses on transformational community development. This is a unique chance to learn some of the best practices in community development in the country, all of which are transferable to your own community. You will also come away with specific tools to help prepare your team for ministry both on site and when they return home. The curriculum, which incorporates new activities every year, in a three year cycle, includes:

• Asset Based Development
• Cross Cultural Familiarization
• Team Building
• Conflict Management
• Debriefing Principles
• The Re-Entry Process

Staff project leaders will follow-up for individual coaching to assist in preparations.
