Bootcamp for Leadership and Team Building

8962999790 17ee051bde

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES), AMIDEAST Jordan organized a boot camp for YES alumni on the 10th and 11th of May, 2013 at Ajloun Nature Reserve.


The camp centered around team building and leadership training that included communication, team work, leadership, problem solving and creativity skills development. Alumni shared lessons learned from their own experiences planning and implementing community service projects in their communities. Of course the alumni also worked together on a mini voluntary project during the boot camp.

The YES alumni took advantage of the retreat to hold elections for the new Alumni Association Board members. They spent several hours planning an action agenda for the coming year which included reintroducing active alumni committees such as volunteerism, environment, community service and school outreach.

The bootcamp was very successful, so AMIDEAST has decided to hold another one day team building retreat for the new alumni who will be returning home in June. The boot camp will be the first of many activities planned for the YES alumni this year in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the YES program.
