Background of Training Camp Leaders 2026
Gerakan Kerelawanan Internasional (GREAT) mission is to provide opportunities for youth by empowering them to develop their unique skills and become agents of change for world peace. Each year, GREAT organizes work camps to create international friendships among participants and to involve local communities. Moreover, there is at least one camp leader to manage and lead work camps, from pre-, during, and post-activities.
A work camp is a place where every GREAT Camp Leader can learn, share, and realize their potential among participants. Also, this is an event where they can contribute to local communities and local partners’ programs. While doing so, they will get the chance to improve their skill set, from soft skills (personal, interpersonal, social skills) to hard skills (language, writing, project cycle management, audiovisuals, etc) at the same time.
