This summer I will be working for the Wyoming Conservation Corps. I'll be leading a group of 6 crew members with a co-leader on 10-day hitches doing work for the State Parks and conservations groups of Wyoming. In preparation, all of the leaders attend a class at the University of Wyoming in Laramie once a week to cover topics like leadership, conservation, natural resource management, volunteerism, group dynamics, and communication.
Our first assignment is to state our intentions and goals for the summer. Here is what I've come up with:
I want to give ownership of the experience to the crew members by allowing them to make decisions. On the same note, I don't want to allow myself to be concerned with small details.
It needs to be my priority to get to know the people I'm working with.
I should be able to raise at least $1000 in donations for the WCC
I don't ever want to feel like I could have worked harder at something, planning/working/whatever
I want to understand the administration of the program so that I can feel comfortable running a non-profit in the future. This includes grant writing and general logistics.
Most importantly I want to figure out how this whole experience is relevant to my life goals.
