Vancouver Island Human Rights Coalition (VIHRC) is planning a volunteer orientation for Tuesday October 26th, at 5:30. We hope you can make it! If not, send us an email so we can meet up one on one. The orientation will be chance for you to learn more about VIHRC and how you can get involved and for us to meet each other. Present will be current board members and the Human Rights Advocate as well.
By volunteering at VIHRC you will have the opportunity to develop your skills in the following areas further:
- basic computer, email skills and phone/communication skills
- acting in an ethical and professional manner and with regard to confidentiality
- knowledge of community resources (although this is not required - we have quite the list here)
- knowledge of legal resources and legal research skills (for those volunteering as legal researchers)
- openess to learning about oppression and discrimination (including unlearning oppressive values, which is an ongoing process I guess :)
VIHRC is located at #418-620 View Street - this is downtown in the Central Building near Broad street. The space is one room large and is wheelchair accessible. We will share pizza and refreshments (with vegan options, let us know if you have any dietary restrictions). Bus tickets will also be available.
Send us a note to tell us you can make it so we know how much food to buy. Hope to see you soon!
