VoM joins 9th HRSD Confab in Butuan

BUTUAN CITY---The Voice of Mindanao joins the in-school youth in Mindanao who are undergoing training in member-schools of the Mindanao Technical-Vocational Educational Training Institutions (MinTVET) as the latter holds the 9th Human Resource and Skills Development Conference this year here. Last year, VoM likewise participated in the 8th HRSD Conference, which had the biggest attendance so far with more than 500 delegates, in Zamboanga City. The annual HRSD Conference is a gathering of educators and school owners of MInTVET member-schools, all of whom are government-recognized education and training institutions and partners of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in honing the livelihood skills of Mindanao youth. This year's confab is set on August 11 to 13 in Butuan City. Organizers hope that the attendance will be higher than that in Zamboanga City.

Youth Empowerment Program (YEP)

VoM officers take the lead in communicating with youth directly or through organizations, involving them in promoting peace-building and peace advocacy.

Through some support from individuals and other organizations, VoM provides some assistance to young Mindanaoans who have been affected by domestic armed conflict through opportunities on skills development.

With the youth in conflict-affected areas as priority beneficiaries, VoM links up with organizations that provide fora of learning for the youth in their social consciousness, environmental awareness, and skills development, especially in communications, and similar opportunities of academic growth.

Believing how others may also contribute in peace-building activities, VoM partners with media and advocacy organizations in disseminating information on issues that affect, directly or indirectly, the youth of Mindanao.

Leadership, Personality Development, Skills Development, Peer Mentoring and Group Facilitating, Public Relations, and Teambuilding—through these areas, VoM empowers the youth in its own little yet selfless way, for them to become more responsible Filipino citizens.

VoM In-house Training-Workshops

VoM conducts in-house trainings for its officers and members, as part of its Capacity-Building Program.

These are conducted by representatives of partner institutions that support VoM by providing trainers and resource speakers, as well as training materials.

These trainings include Leadership and Personality Development, Peer Mentoring and Group Facilitating, Public Speaking, Creative Writing, News Writing, Business Writing, Environmental Awareness, IT Software Applications, Public Relations, and Team Building.

These trainings empower VoM leaders and members as they do their volunteer work to the youth in schools and communities with whom they interact, and serve.
