Program Overview

Motivate Your Community is a leadership and engagement program created by the founder and president of GCPTALKS, Inc. This initiative ensures that the Board of Directors maintain the spirit, discipline, and ambassadorial standards they learned during their initial training. The program reinforces the board's commitment to community service, organizational representation, and public engagement. It also preserves the integrity of their official board responsibilities.

Purpose of the Board of Directors’ Seal

Each board member receives a board of directors' seal after completing a six-week training program. This seal represents several important achievements:

• Successful completion of board training

• Understanding of GCPTALKS and Garth Charity Projects' operational procedures

• Commitment to the ambassadorial standard of giving

• Readiness to represent the organization in community settings

  
  

Although the board's primary duty is governance, the seal allows them to participate in ambassador-style outreach on designated days. This ensures their training remains active and meaningful.

Activation of the Seal

To prevent the seal from becoming merely symbolic, the founder and president authorize the board to activate their seal:

• One day per week, or

• One day per month, and

• During the annual activation period: October 1 – December 15

  
  

Seal activation must be approved by:

• The Founder and President, and

• The Executive Office Ambassador

  
  

During activation, board members may perform ambassador-level outreach while still upholding their primary governance duties.

Training and Preparation

Before their appointment, all board members complete the following:

• A two-week lecture series led by the Founder and President

• Full training administered by the Ambassador General Secretary

• Instruction in ambassadorial communication (“Ambassadors’ Dome”)

• Operational training for both GCPTALKS.org and GarthCharityProjects.org

  
  

Upon completion, each board member receives their permanent Board of Directors' seal.

Board Chamber Assistants

To support the Board’s responsibilities, each full-time Board member is assigned the following:

• Three Board Chamber Assistants

• Total assistants appointed: Nine (9)

  
  

These assistants help with scheduling, outreach preparation, documentation, and community engagement logistics.

Authorized Community Engagement Activities

When their seal is activated, board members may represent GCPTALKS and Garth Charity Projects in various ways:

Community & Institutional Visits

• Visit schools to speak with principals, teachers, and students

• Visit churches to speak with pastors and congregations

They act as outreach officers, representing GCPTALKS in a professional and mission-driven manner.

Community Giving & Support Channels

The Board of Directors will oversee a structured giving program where supporters can contribute.

• Weekly

• Monthly
