She will strive to live a purpose-driven life fueled by passion and service to others.
This document discusses the importance of recruiting volunteers for a youth ministry team. It emphasizes that everyone on the team should be involved in finding new volunteers, as having more people involved will allow the ministry to care for more students. The ideal volunteer is not necessarily young or athletic, but rather someone who loves Jesus and teenagers. Older adults can provide valuable life experience and a connection to students who are experiencing difficulties. When inviting people to join the team, leaders should ensure there is a proper volunteer application process in place to protect students.
This document summarizes a proposed 12-month program called SUPAKULA aimed at helping yoga teachers and leaders evolve through community support, accountability, trainings and other resources.

Participants would receive one-on-one consultations, trainings, guest speakers and three in-person retreats to support personal and professional development through community.

The document provides information about a book titled "The Dynamic Components of Personal Power" by Jim Bouchard, including the copyright information, endorsements from people who attended Jim's workshops, and an introduction about developing personal power through martial arts and applying those principles to life. The introduction discusses some "lies" told about power and the capacity of all humans to develop tremendous personal power.
The document discusses the importance of youth ministry leaders continually learning and improving their skills through various resources. It recommends that leaders read at least two books or resources per year - one focused on personal spiritual growth and one on sharpening youth ministry skills. Leaders are encouraged to take advantage of the wealth of books, articles, websites, and other materials available to help strengthen their knowledge and avoid reinventing ideas. Connecting with other youth workers is also presented as a way to share and learn from different ministry resources.

The objective of BEST is to teach skills, processes, and tools to help sales teams achieve business goals in a predictable, repeatable and measurable way.

This document provides advice on how to effectively handle a panel interview. It recommends asking in advance who will be on the panel and how the interview will be conducted. During the interview, the document suggests asking questions to learn what the company is looking for in a candidate, how job performance is evaluated, what skills are needed, and goals expected in the first year. Knowing this information will help prepare for the panel and determine how well you fit the role.
This document discusses how to motivate and mobilize volunteers for a cause. It explores the dynamics of volunteer motivation and how to attract and retain volunteers. Some key points include: volunteerism is declining due to lack of inspiration and commitment; generations value contribution differently so expectations must align accordingly; motivating volunteers requires understanding their motivational types such as achievers or affiliators; trends show volunteers expect immediate results and meaningful experiences rather than long-term commitments; and strategies like defining expectations, providing feedback, recognition, and developing a productive environment can engage and retain volunteers.

Co-Founders & Co-Leaders, LiveWorkPlay.ca
Starting in 2008, LiveWorkPlay embarked on a journey of “de-programming” by making a shift from congregated programs to authentic community-based, person-centred, and assets-focused thinking and processes. Beyond exciting outcomes such as first homes, first jobs, and first experiences engaging in the community with other citizens, with respect to the experience of an included life, the impact is all about the development of reciprocal relationships and interdependence (social capital).
The document summarizes the experiences and perspectives of participants in the WATCH Project, which provides support to help individuals pursue careers in health care. It discusses the financial, social, and emotional challenges one participant faced as a single mother pursuing nursing education. It also highlights tips for managing stress, such as prioritizing responsibilities and allowing adequate time. The document celebrates recent graduates of various health care programs and advises developing back-up child care plans for emergencies.

This document provides an overview of Joe Tye's presentation to the Iowa Association of Community College Trustees on crafting an "invisible architecture" of values, culture, and attitude for an organization. It discusses the importance of establishing a strong organizational culture over strategy, and moving from mere accountability to a culture of ownership among employees. It also shares results of a culture assessment survey given to faculty and staff at three Iowa community colleges which identified opportunities to strengthen aspects of their organizational culture such as positive attitudes, respect, and embracing change.

Starting in 2008, LiveWorkPlay embarked on a journey of “de-programming” by making a shift from congregated programs
to authentic community-based supports and outcomes based
on flexible and individualized person-centered planning.
At the core of this transformation, the agency dramatically expanded the size and scope of its volunteer team. This has changed the organization, it has changed lives, and it is changing the community.
The document discusses how to motivate and mobilize volunteers for a cause. It covers dynamics of volunteer motivation, including focusing on productivity not just happiness, understanding generational values, challenging volunteers with goals, rewarding the right behaviors, and considering intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. It also discusses attracting and retaining volunteers by selling the vision and mission, making contributions meaningful, clearly defining expectations, giving feedback, recognizing achievements, and developing a productive environment.

PUT THE POWER IN HER HANDS: A Toolkit for Communication on Reproductive Healt...Women's Funding Network
Women’s funds and nonprofit organizations are doing important work in reproductive health, rights and justice (RH/RR/RJ). To fulfill their missions, they need to make an effective case to funders and donors. With so many issues competing for every dollar your message matters. With that in mind, we have created this toolkit designed to help your organization determine your key messages and craft your narrative. In 2010, the Women’s Funding Network (WFN) with support from Campbell & Company and consultants in Europe and Africa sought to determine what would persuade more major donors to give to organizations working on RH/RR/RJ. This toolkit is grounded in research from the target audience of 90 current and potential donors in the U.S., Africa and Europe.
Everybody is rushing in their busy life denying these children for a meal which will cost less than 0.5 % of their monthly salary. Searching for a project in the Community Outreach me and my team encountered with these little kids begging for a meal and we decided that we will provide them a meal and knowledge how they can improve their life in future.

Retaining volunteer talent in your communityKate Baucherel
The document discusses challenges in volunteer retention and the results of a study on volunteer motivation and communication. The study found that volunteers are motivated primarily by supporting a cause rather than social factors as coordinators believed. While motivations change, volunteers remain dedicated. Effective communication is key to retention but there is a disconnect between how volunteers prefer to receive information and coordinators' perceptions. Adopting community management practices and recognizing volunteers' professionalism can help organizations better support and empower volunteers to improve retention.

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN A
POWER
TOOLS VOLUNTEER PROGRAM?
Sylvia Ann Hewlett (@sahewlett), president of the Center for Talent
Innovation (CTI), contributed in HBR Blog Network the article “Strengthen
Recommended by Your Workforce Through Volunteer Programs.”
Elaine Cercado
Some excerpts from her article:
According to the Deloitte Volunteer Impact Survey, Gen Ys who
frequently participate in their company's volunteer activities are more
likely to be very proud to work for their company, feel very loyal, and are
very satisfied with the progression of their careers. These sentiments hold
true across different generations – from the Gen X to the Baby Boomers,
men and women.
Corporate volunteer programs range from one-day community service
activities to mini-sabbaticals that send top performers to developing
countries to lend their expertise to nonprofit organizations and proven
entrepreneurs. Such volunteer assignments can do more than inject
excitement into a humdrum job; they can ignite a career. Who knows
what kind of connections could result?
They’re not just a "nice to have" perk but a retention tool, leadership
development opportunity, and strategic business initiative.

My personal choice:

“ANCOP is an acronym for ANSWERING THE CRY OF THE POOR. It is a program
founded by Couples for Christ, now a duly registered entity under the name CFC
ANCOP-TEKTON FOUNDATION, INC. ANCOP is a licensed Social Welfare Agency by
the Philippines’ Department of Social Welfare & Development. The child as one of
the entry points is supported thru the Child Sponsorship Program (CSP) where
donors have a direct link to the child and family through letters. This establishes
emotional connection & sustained support. The physical well-being of the child
and his family will likewise be addressed by the Health & Nutrition Programs. The
family and community entry points are actualized through values formation and
the Christian Life Program or CLP. The community as one of entry points is
supported by the Shelter and Livelihood programs and is integrated in Community
Development.”

5. 5 We celebrated our fourth year as a limited liability partnership (LLP)
consultancy based in Singapore last March 2012. When I look back at
our past 4-year journey, I’m amazed by how blessed we’ve been
despite the very limited resources we had and the challenges we
faced. Equipped mainly with a burning passion and mission “to
discover, develop, maximize and share the power in U,” exciting
windows and doors of opportunities opened for us throughout.
Together with my wonderful LLP Partners, I am honored and grateful
OUR to take our journey further – toward the best that is yet to come.
JOURNEY A quick look at our last 4 years
Global Collaborations. We are privileged to have partnered and
SO FAR worked successfully on key MNC projects with some of the best and
most reputable global learning companies such as CEGOS (UK,
Germany and Asia-Pacific), IMPAX (US), Change International
(Germany), MyLearningBoutique (Switzerland), High Impact
By (Philippines), and most recently, Upskills (Philippines).

SME Ventures. In Singapore, amidst the very competitive
environment, we found our niche in the SME sector by doing
consulting works through support from SPRING, WDA and HCS on HR
development initiatives and through the recent Innovation &
Capability Voucher (ICV), in collaboration with another consultancy,
PDLC Asia.
Industry Certifications. My partners and I have achieved national and
industry certifications in training, assessment and consulting in
Singapore and Australia. We certainly practiced what we preached
as we applied the mission to ourselves – we continuously developed
the power within us.
Relevant Programs. Our own range of solutions – the TCOB (Taking
Care of Business) solutions for SMEs and the EMPOWER mentoring-
coaching programs have been updated a few times to ensure they
stay relevant with the changing needs and demands of our current
and prospective clients.
Individual Impacts. One of the best parts of what we do is seeing,
hearing and feeling the actual transformation at the personal level.
This kind of affirmation strengthens our resolve to continue what we
do at de’POWERinU (DPU). When a mentee facing a crossroad is able
