Program description: |
|
|
Do you feel that you have something you want to say, do, create, or start? Do you have an idea for a fundraiser, NGO, Nonprofit, or social enterprise that you want to develop but don't know where to begin or where to get the skills necessary to get into the field of community development?
At GVN we believe in the idea of local solutions to local problems. We work to provide resources to community organizations around the world through our volunteer service branch, GVN. We now want to expand our focus and provide individuals with the resources they need to go out and make a difference. We at GVN truly believe in Gandhi's famous quote:
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi
It is for this reason we have created a week long, intensive training course entitled "Be The Change: A Six Day Intensive Course Designed to Develop the Skills You Need to Make a Difference."
