Exploring the Power of MGM (My Gift: Myself)

To give you a broader perspective of the unique "gifts" offered by this training program, several of the production staff created this page and a special "Director's Cut" commentary. The next paragraph is the summation of the "Director's Cut", followed by some web quality video examples from MGM and pdf links showing actual page samples from MGM manuals.

"The bottom line is that My Gift: Myself is more than just education, it is an experience that generates personal growth, understanding, and empathy that will allow a stronger rapport between your volunteers and patients. Combined with the classroom participation exercises, it also helps create self-confidence and fosters a sense of teamwork and belonging in your volunteers. In the long run, you will create more effective volunteers, have less burnout, and increase your patient’s appreciation of your staff and organization."
