Becoming a Link Volunteer
Concentrated, interactive equipping for all Link VolunteersLive, or on your schedule
We are not able to offer live training as frequently as we would like so we make it available on this page for whenever is convenient for you. However, if you have a strong preference for live training, let us know so we can tell you know the next time we have this training scheduled (most likely over Zoom).
Time & space
We hope that this is not just a time for you to be equipped, but also to have space to listen to the Holy Spirit. So please find a time & place where you can focus. It should take around 20 minutes. Think of it as "training without the meeting."
It's also going to be easier to have a screen larger than a phone (e.g. a tablet or computer).
Training, not scoring
None of your responses in the first tab will be saved or recorded. They are exclusively for your training benefit.
Part 1: On the Job Training (Virtually)
On the Job Training (OJT) is beneficial because:
- is learner focused
- focuses on growth rather than correct answers
- is immediately relevant
We like to offer our training virtually (VOJT!). This provides OJT benefits but makes it available whenever you're ready.
Please do this VOJT tab first. In it, you'll find a variety of types of interaction, and they generally get more challenging as you progress. You will also see that most of the information is similar to in person OJT: you will not have preparation. But don't worry! The goal is training, not to get all the correct answers (we don't record any of Part 1). Training is the goal
Part 2: Critical Thinking
After completing the VOJT tab, wrestle more deeply with the content and actually contribute to Link through sharing your ideas with us in the critical thinking tab.
Your answer will be submitted and we may reach out to you to get more of your thoughts.
