Due to the democratic nature of the
Indigo Sudbury Campus, all staff are elected on a
yearly basis. People interested in becoming staff
members at ISC may become eligible for election after
completing our Volunteer and Internship process.
Volunteer Policy (simplified):
1. Anyone wishing
to volunteer at ISC must make two initial visits of
at least two hours in order to introduce themselves
to the school community and get to know the students
and staff.
2. After the initial visits, the
volunteer process will continue if a member of the
school community (student or staff) brings up the
prospective volunteer at Campus Meeting and moves
that the volunteer be allowed to proceed with the
volunteer process.
3. If #2 happens and is approved,
the Volunteer will be asked to make a presentation
at Campus Meeting that includes a) the individual’s
impression of his/her visits b) the demonstration
of a very clear understanding of the school philosophy
and c) a presentation of the individual’s background,
interests, achievements, capabilities and what the
individual has to offer the school.
4. After the presentation, the school
community will vote once again, and if the vote is
favorable, the Volunteer will make arrangements with
the Staffing Clerk as to what days and times the Volunteer
will be at the school.
Internship Policy (simplified):
After completing 30 volunteer hours,
a Volunteer may apply to become an Intern. The application
will be presented at Campus Meeting and will be voted
on. If the school community votes "yes",
the Internship will begin.
The internship requires 290 hours for completion.
Detailed descriptions of the
Volunteer and Internship programs are available through
the school and will be given to anyone who wishes
to participate in these programs.
