What’s the best way to provide continuing education to Pakistani students undertaking community development and service projects in their home communities? Why a specialized online training of course! Village Earth has developed a specialized course for the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX)’s Global UGRAD – Pakistan program alumni. The course, Community Leadership and Service Fundamentals, will run for 5-weeks in an asynchronous format for 20 Pakistani students. The course will teach the students how to prepare for and begin a community service project, how to mobilize a community to develop appropriate tools and strategies, and also how to implement a monitoring and evaluation component to the project. Village Earth specializes in developing and facilitating online trainings in all areas of community development. For more information visit our Specialized Training page.
