THE KVCDP PROGRAMS

Our programs help connect kvcdp ideas, principles and methods with local communities. It helps kvcdp’s vision be spread through more people and groups. It brings new ideas and perspectives to the organization. Each program is a separate kvcdp experience that relates to local needs and interests and involves a different target group. The programs empower individuals to be agents of change, reach out and involve as many people as possible. Participants can include both kvcdp members and non members. It does not have to be a work camp setting, but can be designed according to the needs and abilities of the kvcdp chapter. In this way the programs can focus on different themes or issues relevant to our participants, daily lives while having a unique kvcdp style experience “Get Involved�
