TRAINING MATERIALS
It is a custom of the world, that when one takes a bunch of reeds tied together, can one possibly break them all at once? But when one takes one by one, even an infant can break them. And so you find, that the people of Israel are not complete until they become “one bunch.”
—Midrash Yalkut Shimoni
I. THE VOLUNTEER-PROFESSIONAL PARTNER- SHIP
The working relationships between professional staff and volunteers are like a dance. These relationships are always in motion. They change with the tempo of the times. Partners must understand and respect one another’s strengths and weaknesses—if they do, they will be able to develop strategies for a working collaboration, each partner holding from a position of strength.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 and 4:12
Two are better than one for they have great reward for their labors.
If one attacks the two wills tand against him, and a three stranded thread will not easily unravel.
