Group Leader Orientation - Travel Based Exchanges
All Group Leaders in the YMCA Youth Exchanges Canada Program will be provided with a comprehensive orientation to the program. In most cases, this occurs through group facilitation offered by the Regional Coordinators in each region.
During Group Leader Orientation...
-
Group Leaders get to meet each other and share ideas, and have an opportunity to ask questions.
-
Experienced Group Leaders get to provide peer leadership and share their experiences and ideas with newer Group Leaders.
-
Group Leaders receive orientation on paperwork, the exchange cycle, safety, fundraising, host planning, and youth engagement.
-
Regional Coordinators are able to assess the Group Leader’s level of experience and understanding of the program. Regional Coordinators can determine groups that may require additional support throughout the exchange.
