Club Lead Training

Why we're doing a Training?

• Find out which Firefox Clubs are active (and which are no longer active and should be removed from the wiki)
• Prepare and strengthen Club Leads for how to expand and make their Club thrive in 2014
• Increase Club Lead understanding of the program as well as their ability to be leaders within the club (and community)
• Create a sustainable way in which Club Leads receive training that empowers each Club to be a success

Who should do the Training?

The training should be completed by all of the current Firefox Club Leads. We will be inviting individuals to do the training if they are listed as a Club Lead in our Firefox Club Directory.

Firefox Student Ambassadors who are not Club Leads are welcome to review the training documents but do Not need to complete the survey.

When is the training?

The survey is now closed and will re-open on March 1st.

Where is the Training?

The training will take place on-line - no need to travel in order to take part :)

How to Complete the Training

The Club Lead training is now closed. If you are interested in completing the training to become a Firefox Club Lead, please check-back in early March to complete the training.

What will be covered in the training?

• Introduction to the program
  • Purpose of Club
  • What the Club is Not
  • Rules
  • Activities
  • Recognition
  • Resources
• Tasks/responsibilities of a Club Lead
  • Setting up meetings
  • Sending out meeting notes
  • Hosting elections for the leadership team
  • Maintaining a communication channel and the wiki page
  • Recruiting new members
  • Leading the Club in activities
• How to set your Club up for success for the semester
  • Activities
  • Recruitment
  • Planning ahead
  • Characteristics of a strong leader
• Term limits for Firefox Club Leads

Why should I do the training?

If you successfully complete the training, you will (as the Club Lead), receive a Club Lead Open Badge and access to additional resources for your Club from the program (we're still working out the exact details).

Due to the large number of those who missed our first training, we will be hosting another starting on March 1, 2014. If you missed the first training, your wiki page will not be deleted.

How is this Sustainable?

After January 31st, we will remove the ability for just anyone to create a Firefox Club.

Moving forward, we will create a process in which all individuals interested in creating Firefox Clubs must first complete the training before being given access to starting a Club at their school (and creating a wiki for their club).

In addition, once a Firefox Club Lead's term has been completed, the new Lead will be asked to complete this training before receiving their Open Badge and assuming their new role.
