Section 1. The goals of the GOLD 2.0 program.

The initial goal of the program was to meet the requests from young people for a leadership development program that would help them translate their idealism and energy into positve active service to others and preparation for accepting leadership roles in their communities, clubs and YMCAs

 

Some other specific objectives:

Strengthening the long term commitment of young people to the movement.

Training youth to be future leaders at the club, district and Regional levels.

Training youth to deliver training to other youth, as an animator for an online group or as a leader in local training workshops.

.

The expanded focus includes making the training available to all members, expecially the new ones, who do not fall into the category of youth. Leadership development is a lifelong process that recognizes that there is always new information to absorb and new skills that are needed in a changing world. 

The program combines two approaches.

Formal Training. This offers leadership development training through a curriculum of modules covering topics whose skills are essential to being an effective leader. “Learning by doing” is perhaps just as important as the formal learning in workshops and online learning. Participants are encouraged to learn and practice new skills through active particpation in the local community and internationally, either through Y Service International and/or the YMCA.

           

There is an introductory Power Point which can be viewed by the participants before starting the overall curricullum. After the presentation, there are copies of Slide Notes and Commentary Notes for the presenter to share with particpants. MAN-1 contains commentary notes for this PowerPoint.

 

 

Section 2. Why GOLD 2.0?

There are at least four reasons why taking the GOLD 2.0 training is beneficial, especially for our youth and new members.

1. For personal development as an individual:

Gain knowledge, skills and confidence to achieve your goals in your personal, educational and professional life while practicing and Improving the skills you already possess. Also earn credits towards an international certificate that could be added  to your personal resume to indicate your wider interests.

2. For their role as a Global Citizen: 

Be more effective and successful in your service to others as you make a difference in the world. 

3. For their satisfaction as a Y Service/Y’sMen member:

Use your skills and knowledge in active participation in our movement and ensure that we continue to grow in service. Make new friends around the world as you work through the activities together

4. For their future as a leader in the movement:

Gain the confidence to take on additional leadership roles at any level of the organization. When you lead and train others, you establish your leadership credentials in the
movement and become a role model, inspiring others to become agents of change in the world.
