In other words, you will have a training meeting for 2 hrs every other week. You will meet with your group every other week and with your co-leader and advisor during the opposite weeks. You will also meet with the GP coordinator four times before the trip and two times after the trip.
Other time commitments include fundraising, meeting with individual group members who might need support, recruiting, publicizing events, volunteering for the EXPO and Auction, some homework from the training and special GP worship times before the trips.
