and adventure
in our world.

EXPERIENCE- The first goal of a Venturing program is to give you an opportunity to pursue your interest
in a way that might not be available in a traditional educational setting. We're talking about first hand, hands on experiences
with people who work in a particular field or have knowledge of it. Venturing recognizes the difference between reading...
and going.
-
DEVELOPMENT- The second goal is to lead a life in Venturing that fosters personal, social, and community
health. That's why a Venturing Crew organizes a program around a variety of personal growth activities. This king of
program helps us to experience more balance in our lives; to take responsibility for others and our community; and to be mentally,
emotionally, and physically fit.
-
LEADERSHIP-
The third Goal is to Learn about Leadership from adults who set the example. You will learn about leadership by experiencing
outstanding adult leadership and by practicing leadership yourself. With other Ventures, you will run your own crew and exercise
you own understanding of Leadership.
-
GROWTH- The fourth goal of leadership is to create an environment that encourages growth in yourself,
in other Ventures, and in Advisors. This is achieved in a place that is safe, fun and challenging. Venturing provides opportunities
for new experiences and new ideas.
