Cooperative Extension: GEM Volunteer Development
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Get Experience in Mindfulness (GEM) is a two time nationally award winning group-based stress management program. Cooperative Extension and 4-H have trained over 100 volunteers across the state to share resources and skills. GEM volunteers are committed members of their communities; they demonstrate how to use mindfulness techniques to manage stress, problem solving and expand resilience across the state.
THE IMPACT OF YOUR SUPPORT
Your gift will help to expand professional development opportunities by coordinating GEM's efforts and providing speakers and services to help volunteers expand their implementation. As more people learn GEM skills through the volunteer base, the impact extends broad-based wellness skills for youth and adults across Delaware, minimizing unhealthy or risky behaviors and increasing positive mental well being.
Gifts to this project will be allocated to the Cooperative Extension Program. Cooperative Extension will direct support to GEM.
