WHAT WE DO
Welcome to the Colorado Grassroots Training Program!
The Colorado program targets visitor center volunteers, front-line hotel, restaurant and retail employees and members of the community - anyone who regularly interacts with travelers.
The training manual is set up to allow trainers to tailor the activities to the local situation, no matter where the byway is in the state of Colorado or elsewhere in the country.
Concepts include the interpretive message, resource protection, and ethics. This program takes a big step beyond standard hospitality training.
