Learning opportunities are offered to adult volunteers to prepare them for their volunteer role and enrich their experiences with the girls. Volunteer trainers facilitate instructor-led workshops, or volunteers may take some of these courses at home through facilitated home study and online workshops. Learning Opportunities on the Web is the vehicle to assist volunteers in enrolling in these workshops and many others.
