Proactively addressing potential risks

Use this resource to develop or adapt your own risk management plan.

This risk management plan was created by the Northwest Service Academy — Mt. Adams Center to provide guidance for the trainings, preparations, and policies implemented for team leaders, team members, and field staff for all activities related to working in "the field." The Mt. Adams Center is one of the few AmeriCorps programs to offer a residential option with the majority of members serving on field teams focused on environmental restoration.

Managing conflicts and keeping teams on track

Use this resource with members to:

• gain knowledge on how different personalities deal with conflict and will develop strategies for dealing with them
• reflect upon their own approaches to conflict.
• gain strategies to address conflict and for limiting conflict escalation by engaging one another in an open and respectful way.

This training module provides participants a lens to see how they and others approach conflict, as well as strategies for facilitating a resolution to conflict. Conflict Management was adapted from the Northwest Leader Corps training curriculum written and compiled by Nicole Trimble.
