Description of 2015 Volunteer Expectations

ABOUT INSPIRE

The Mission of INSPIRE is to ignite, train, and invest in our Youth to become Social Change Agents. We strive for cross-generational impact in breaking the cycles of oppression in our families, schools and communities. We believe empowered Youth have the ability to construct innovative solutions and generate hope for an equitable future.

The vision of INSPIRE is built upon the 5 core principles of LOVE, LEADERSHIP, COMMUNITY, POSSIBILITIES, and SOCIAL CHANGE working in unison to empower our Youth as Social Change Agents.

As an INSPIRE Volunteer, you will be asked to assist in upholding our principle of COMMUNITY by serving as a positive role model  for the Change Agents who participate in the INSPIRE program. 

Please review the following expectations for the 2015 calendar year.
