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):
1) 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.
2) 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.
