Certified Volunteer Leader Training

Author: Steven Austin

Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences

Major Program: Facilitation Training

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Over the course of two weekends in November and December leadership training takes place.  On these two weekends approximately eighty individuals show up to become leaders of youth in the state of Kentucky.  They all have different skill levels and while they are gaining information to help them teach youth they also get to share some of their skills with the trainers.  Even though some of the games that we teach them, (steal the bacon) could cause headaches, everyone survived and had a good time.
