Key Initiative 2: Training and Development

Staff Training Our agency becomes stronger when we invest in the training of staff.

Specialty training as needed Goal 1 70% of Bigs complete ex- panded volunteer training program in 2018. Goal 2 75% of Bigs complete ex- panded volunteer training program in 2019.
