WHCH Commitment to the Volunteer/Intern

We view our volunteers and interns as a valuable resource and are committed to providing support and recognition of their input. Volunteers/interns are supported through the provision of resources necessary to complete their duties; induction and appropriate training and a supervision commitment.

WHCH expects volunteers to behave in a manner which reflects positively on the organization and to promote the key organizational messages where possible.

Volunteers and interns are individuals or groups who offer their time, experience, knowledge and skills without financial gain beyond reimbursement of expenses; helping us to achieve our goals.
