From Seeds to Success: The Better Facilitators' Origin Story
Featured Story
August 1, 2024
The Better Facilitators (TBF) started with a group of friends who were passionate about helping the youth and serving our communities. We all came from different organizations but shared a common dream of building a better and growing Church. We saw the spiritual needs of young people in parishes, schools, communities, and workplaces which led us to a decision to begin our new mission.
It was on March 3, 2024, that our journey started officially. At first, our goal was to create an agency and pool our skills in marketing, training, and events management to help local businesses in our area. After reaching out to friends for referrals, we landed our first engagement as facilitators for a recollection program for students in 5th and 6th grade. Inspired by one of our mentors, we accepted an invitation from a public school and decided to include this as our advocacy.
After facilitating several recollections for different grade levels and student groups, we kept the momentum going and decided to invite more facilitators to join our group. Later on, we held our first community retreat and started our monthly community gathering to nurture the bond between volunteers and facilitators.
To prepare for the upcoming academic year, our team has started developing new modules, training, and formation programs. To enable new facilitators, our first facilitators’ boot camp was held in late July 2024.
As we begin the month of August, we welcome yet another milestone for our community, the launch of our digital platforms which includes our official website and social media accounts. This will allow us to engage with an even wider audience and share relevant content.
We’re excited about the future and I can’t wait to meet our new partners and journey with them towards better experiences.
Joining TBF means being part of a fun, inclusive community where meaningful connections and personal growth are at the heart of everything we do. We can’t wait to grow with you!
