Drop something off on your way out! *********************************************************************************** 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.
