Membership
A welcoming community of volunteers and likeminded individuals.
Community
Social events, speaking opportunities and more
VC offers a welcoming community of likeminded individuals. Many volunteers like to become members to remain in contact with the association after training or overseas placements.
The organisation runs a number of member orientated events during the course of the year providing opportunities for individuals to continue their involvement after they return. These include social events, speaking opportunities, retreats, further training in some cases, as well as an opportunity to serve on the various committees and the board (Council).
Membership is an important aspect of the ensuring the viability, relevance and good governance of the association. It is likely that new criteria for membership will be developed in 2026 to ensure the vitality and growth of membership for the future.
Contact our membership committee if you would like to be added to our growing list of events during the course of the year.
