Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on principles, leadership, and organization for the community work of Young Mens Christian Associations (YMCA). YMCA Community Work is an extension of YMCA values towards addressing the needs of boys and young men, particularly in areas without a standard YMCA building. It particularly highlights how YMCA work is different from Extension Work. The author discusses the importance of cooperating with existing community organizations and institutions to avoid redundancy while identifying and addressing local needs like poverty, lack of education, healthcare, and discrimination. The author cautions that these institutions should not be substituted for, but rather strengthened and supported by YMCA initiatives, especially because of their historically significant role in establishing homes and schools. The author emphasizes that leadership is key in the success of a YMCA community program, and goes into detail about what traits an ideal leader should possess. The author contends that leadership should not only be focused on personal charisma, but more importantly on people management, bringing existing organizations together, and training a core group of volunteers to continue the program. At its core, this book is a guide for developing, implementing, and managing a successful YMCA Community Work program, based on the author's many years of experience in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
