VOLUNTEERS
Video from our 2014 VIP Leaders celebration day, a time to celebrate and bless our fantastic volunteers.
Vision: To create a culture of voluntary leadership that builds people's understanding of generosity and equips them with practical skills.
At Epic we are committed to developing our volunteer leaders. We believe that if we want to change the atmosphere in our community, then we need to lead well. We recognize the diverse range of skills and abilities that people bring and we want to celebrate that!
All leaders work to Epic policies, which outline safe practice for working with children and youth in our organization. This includes making them aware of our areas of safety, code of ethics, and code of conduct. All leaders sign a volunteer agreement and are vetted appropriately. Our leaders are also made aware that they are entering into a mentoring relationship themselves, which leads to ongoing reflection.
Currently we have approx 45 regular volunteers involved in the life of Epic.
