Maintenance Program ? Leadership Development Crews
Leadership Development Crews offer a unique and exciting opportunity for individuals to refine their leadership skills. For the most part, these crews are smaller than other summer crews and are usually made up of young adults seeking leadership skills. The crew experience force individuals to enter a realm of discovery and growth, after all, becoming a leader is not easy.
In a seven-week session as a specialized roving crew, Leadership Development Crews will work in partnership with the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation to conserve Vermont's natural resources. Trail stabilization, construction of 40-foot bridges and maintenance of lakes are examples of projects in the past.
Aside from technical projects, Corps Participants are subjected to an intense, experiential curriculum, in which they learn skill and leadership theory, and analyze unique skills as a result of workshops. Every Corps Member has an opportunity to lead their crew for a whole week around the end of their training. Primarily, this crew will specifically emphasize taking complete responsibility of leading others, in order to train Corp Members for future Crew Leading positions. This is a rigorous opportunity to learn by means of discussion, action, reflection and instruction.
Corp Members in Leadership Development Crews will gain a grandiose amount of confidence, better self-knowledge and more technical skill by the end of the summer.
The VYCC offers two Leadership Development Crews: one comprised of both males and females, and one consisting of all females.
By means of all-female programs, female crew leaders will develop substantial self-confidence as well as discovering their own individual style of leadership in a supporting and encouraging environment. All-female programs, studies suggest, are highly effective in instilling confidence in women and encouraging them to enter the conservation and other technical fields, especially because these fields are traditionally male-dominated. These young women will be forced to expand their comfort zones, pushed to look into this field and learn from each other. One of the support structures are highly trained female who will bring gender and empowerment focus to the curriculum in the form of discussions, workshops and sharing.
Young men and women have an opportunity to live and work together in the Co-Ed Leadership Development Crew where they can learn about their leadership skills and further explore the conversation field in a challenging and supportive atmosphere. Crew members will be expected to elucidate their respective take on the subject in thoughtful and clear manner. The challenge of working together in a safe and respectful community will give Corps Members a powerful experience to carry with them as they return to their home and school community.
Leadership Development Crew Leaders must train, manage, counsel, and educate the crew in both work and group living settings in the backcountry. This jobs requires are burning desire to teach and train Corps Members in technical projects, group dynamics and the latest camping techniques. In addition, they must be able to teach a rigorous leadership curriculum and give constructive feedback to individuals who are discovering their leadership style. Leaders must be self-reliant, self-motivated and exhibit sound judgment, while also skilled in the logistical aspect of crew leading, (e.g. safely driving a passenger van each day to the worksite or on recreational trips).
