Co-partners’ approach :
Co-partners organizes or supports a group organized by other volunteers.
As soon as practical, groups elect officers who begin to assume organizational
responsibilities. The role of the co-partners shifts gradually from teacher to
coach to adviser.
Group members themselves identify skills or projects they believe important for
improving their lives and proceed with the assistance of co-partners.
