YMCA Principles & Practices 2008 (P&P)

YMCA Principles and Practices is the core program for orienting
all staff to the YMCA movement. It is an essential first step for
every YMCA staff member. Whatever your duties-child care,
aquatics, office management, program direction or other
important responsibilities-this training will improve your ability
to deliver on the YMCA's promise to put Christian principles
into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind,
and body for all.
This five-day resident training prepares YMCA staff members,
ideally in the first year of employment, to conduct their job in a
manner that is consistent with the philosophy and goals of the
organization.
This is accomplished through four specific training objectives:

Expand understanding of the YMCA Movement
Enhance work habits and organizational skills
Build strong and useful professional networks
Deepen commitment to the YMCA Movement
