We hope that during our members' year of service that they have a chance to not only help their communities and sites they serve in but that they also have a chance to grow personally and professionally during their service term. We try and help members achieve this through what we call "Member Development".

Our program offers multiple training sessions to its members through out the first month of service and also through out their year of service. We even allow members to teach their fellow members what they know by stepping forward with their skills, talents and passions. We work with our members to try and make sure their year is successful by providing training geared to their service year and to their futures.

Some training we typically offer our members include:

• Teambuilding & Low Ropes Course
• Working with At-Risk Youth
• Disaster Preparedness
• Civic Engagement (a service-learning curriculum for youth)
• Conflict Resolution
• ParaReading Tutor Training
• Volunteer Recruitment
• Leadership
• Culture and Diversity
• Resume and Interview Techniques

These training sessions help members be successful during their year of service and also help members get to know their fellow members!
