Kairos Outside Advanced Training (AKT)

 
AKT-Outside is for Kairos Outside volunteers who are in or will be in a weekend leadership role, including Advisory Council or State Chapter positions, anywhere within the Kairos Outside program.

Kairos policy requires that all weekend leaders must have attended an AKT-Outside prior to leading a weekend.
