Get Set…Give!
At-a-Glance
Get, Set…Give! is a half-day program (3.5 hours) facilitated in an urban setting.
Teams of 4-5 are tasked with using GPS units to explore a city in a fun competition. Charged with devising ways to pay it forward by anonymously giving a treat, fulfilling a need or satisfying a desire, the teams must think outside the box and interact with those they want to serve. With the goal of helping those in the local community, teams are provided limited funds that may not be given directly to the beneficiaries, and the solutions should be creative, have a lasting impact and provide a big “bang for your buck”.
We complete the adventure by debriefing the day’s experiences and drawing parallels to workplace dynamics.
