Key Initiative 2: Training and Development
Staff Training
Our agency becomes stronger
when we invest in the training
of staff. Trending issues in youth
development are constantly
changing; it is our responsibil-
ity to prioritize training above
and beyond the initial Service
Delivery Model education. The
agency is also placing a strate-
gic focus on empowering staff
to take initiative in their own
professional development.
Volunteer Training
Bigs are our direct-service pro-
viders; they spend time with
their Littles and are truly the
impact-makers. The expand-
ed volunteer training program
consists of these components:
1. Volunteer Pre-MatchWebinar
2. Child & Youth Development
Webinar
3. Match Ethics, Safety, and
Boundaries Webinar
4. Specialty training as needed
Board Development
A well-developed Board of Di-
rectors will elevate our agency
by connecting us to opportuni-
ties and resources in the com-
munity. Board Development
will revolve around skill-based
recruitment,
programmatic
training, and creating Board
champions for BBBS programs
and initiatives.
