IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0TRAINING AND TEAM DEVELOPMENT: The Training and Team Development team teaches individuals, schools, businesses, and communities from across the Northeast how to improve problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills, increase team communication and performance, create an atmosphere of cooperation, trust and encouragement, and discover and effectively capitalize on group resources. Through our technical and facilitation trainings and our Annual Symposium, hundreds of teachers and school staff, social service workers, camp staff, military and law enforcement personnel and many others train with us each year to guide their own adventure programs, learn and improve their challenge course technical skills and develop their own facilitation skills and style. We give them the tools that they need to make a difference in other peoples lives. Total served in 2020: approx. 550.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0EDGE OF LEADERSHIP: The Edge of Leadership program provides adventure-based youth leadership development through work performed in schools and on our Brattleboro campus and challenge course. Our four experiential educators with 65 years of collective experience guide students in grades 5 through 12 -- and their teachers -- to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, increase social and emotional intelligence, work collaboratively in and out of the classroom, manage projects while guiding and leading others, and open doors to improving school culture and academic performance. In 2015 EOL launched a demonstration project to apply the EOL model system-wide in the Keene, NH school district. We deliver our programs to all 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders in the classroom throughout the school year, and students visit our location and challenge course each semester. High school participants receive leadership development training in the summer at High 5 and then identify a particular issue to work on and improve in their school, with leadership development programming that includes teachers. Total served during the 2019-2020 school year: 175+ students and educators. Since 2011, thousands of youth and adults have participated in EOL at sites throughout the Northeast.Total served in 2020: approx. 760.
