***********************************************************************************

The Dartmouth Global Leadership Program is a student-run program that sends Dartmouth  
students on spring break projects to Vermont, Texas, and Honduras. DGLP projects  
are different from the traditional alternative spring break trips because of a  
focus on curriculum design during winter term. We select a group of students from  
different academic backgrounds to work directly with our community partners-under  
resourced high schools in low-income areas. Each group develops a consulting relationship  
with the community, gaining an understanding of the community's needs, and then  
responds to their needs by developing a plan of action.


The goal of the Spring Break Project to Honduras, La Fuerza para el Futuro, is  
to guide and support the development of a cadre of teens from eight rural villages  
who we help develop the locally identified skills they need to become the regional  
leaders. The entire project team will be onsite in Honduras during the March interim  
break. The project is leadership training for the 40+ teens who participated in  
the La Fuerza leadership training last year. This time, we will divide into groups  
for specialized training to become the backbone of the library and Regional Education  
Center. We will teach them how to schedule the Center, care for the library, use  
problem solving skills to address issues as they arise, manage the revenue and  
expense, care for the building and its grounds. Established village leaders will  
be involved in every step of deciding how to run the center and library. Our role  
is to make the Center compelling to the teens, give them social uplift for their  
involvement and help them establish a region-wide web of leaders they can rely  
on.
