An Overview…
Supporting Kroc Centers Through Leadership Development
2 Timothy 1:7
BackgroundRay & Joan Kroc Corps Community Centers present
distinctive ministry opportunities to develop new models of organization and operation which require qualified and trained leaders.
Responding to this need—with significant input from the National Kroc Center Task Force—the Central Territory commenced work on a capacity building approach for Kroc Leadership Development, beginning with Officers and envisioned to include key management staff.
The task force recommended and prioritized specific training content areas around which a core curriculum would be developed.
Booth University College
The Army’s Booth University College in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada developed a similar certificate program with distinct Salvation Army requirements through the School for Continuing Studies.
Booth University College, through its School for Continuing Studies is well suited for consideration to serve as the designated certifying academic institution for this initiative.
Curriculum Advisory Panel
The National Kroc Task Force & invited guests served as a Curriculum Advisory Panel assisting Booth University College in developing initial curriculum components and in identifying the qualified instructors for each Course
