Philadelphia to hold an Alumni Training

The Philadelphia Alumni group will be holding a training tomorrow, January 15th, to prepare for their work with Community College of Philadelphia's work with a re-entry program. The training is designed to improve facilitation skills and to discuss the various preparation needs to engage in this kind of work.

Lori Pompa will be leading the training, with the help of Philadelphia alumni coordinators Frank and Cyndi. The training will run from 10 am to 6 pm and will include discussions of program rules, parameters, values, goals, and a space to express any concerns the participants might have. Facilitating dialogue and running the class is a major focus of the training, and will hopefully help the group create a dynamic and engaged classroom environment to enable leadership from all participants.

Hopefully all participants will finish the training with a strong grasp on the theoretical and practical issues of the program, and will therefore take strong leadership in the future of the project. Another hope is that the training templates from Philadelphia and Oregon can be blended to offer alumni facilitation trainings across the country.
