Yukon Guides

Training Weekend — 3 opportunities for Guiders!

Volunteer Management |  Friday, Sept. 30 (7-9:30)
The Volunteer Management module is designed to help you understand why people volunteer, what people want from volunteering and how you, as a team leader, can help volunteers to achieve these things in order to become more productive team members. It also addresses the principles behind targeted recruitment in order for you to be able to create a workable plan that will enable you to fill a real, specific role on one of your teams. This module will cover putting your team together, staffing a position, and supporting and honouring your team. This training will be held at the Canada Games Centre, in the boardroom on the main floor.
  
Girls United – Helping Girls connect in Healthy Ways | Sunday, Oct. 2 (9 – 11:30am)
Girls today need to know how to get along with others, how to build strong connections with each other, how to be a support for each other and how to build strong, rewarding friendships with other girls. This is an enrichment training for Guiders to give you a deeper understanding of how to recognize social aggression (bullying) and take action to provide girls with safe places. Adults who are untrained rarely aid children who are bullied. This training gives adults tools to take action through:

• An introduction to the dynamics of girls’ relationships, and
• Age-appropriate strategies for promoting healthy relationships.

We will provide Lunch. This training will be held at the Canada Games Centre, in the boardroom on the main floor.

 
Building Strong Teams | Sunday, Oct. 2 (1 – 3:30pm)
The Building Strong Teams module is designed to give you an understanding of what a team is and how it works. It will give you skills to improve the teams you lead or are a member of. This module will teach you about the characteristics of an efficient team, team development and team building, the characteristics of a leader, and the preparation and facilitation skills needed to be a better leader. This training will be held at the Canada Games Centre, in the boardroom on the main floor.
