The GSC Community Training Program in Tanzania prepares volunteer participants as trainers and provides opportunities to conduct GSC community trainings. These community training sessions are arranged in advance by GSC staff, are usually three to four days in length, and are given to various groups including students, women’s groups, farmers groups and other community groups. Community Training participants may choose to focus on either HIV/AIDS Prevention and Nutrition Education or Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security. By the end of the Community Training Program, participants will have gained valuable training experience in their chosen field.
In addition to training responsibilities, Community Training Program participants may have opportunity
to help assess and evaluate the effectiveness of GSC’s community training. Short- and long-term volunteers and interns are provided opportunities (although not required) to take on an additional volunteer project in their extra time. These projects may include working with a local orphanage, supporting home-based care projects by building and distributing sack gardens for families affected by HIV/AIDS, and when appropriate, assisting GSC’s Community Development Program with on-going development projects with local organizations.
