Over the past years we’ve enjoyed bringing groups to Guatemala twice a year, once in October-November and then another group in April-May. Last year, our fabulous trip leaders along with the board members of Transformational Connections determined that the only way to grow the organization was to train new volunteer leaders. We interviewed many applicants for trip leadership roles and selected five of them to train as Transformational Connections Volunteer Trip Leaders. To ensure we provide the best experience possible for our groups, training is a three-part learning and experiencing process. Over the past several months the five selected volunteers have be participating in training sessions in Kalamazoo. On October 25th, 2018 they departed as a team for Guatemala and will be spending a little over a week continuing their training with our partner groups and a member of our trip volunteer leadership team. When the five new volunteer trip leaders return from Guatemala they will be completing their training in Kalamazoo and planning some incredible trips for groups. We hope you will check back to our blog and website often to learn about ways you or your group can participate in a Transformational Connections trip.
Pictures and reports from the Volunteer Trip Leader training in Guatemala will be posted regularly.
