ACTION GROUPS
ACTION GROUPS are a chance for volunteers to get involved outside of camps. They are an opportunity for all volunteers to learn new skills, undertake new responsibilities, build friendships and most importantly HAVE FUN!
As part of the Organisational Structure of Edmund Rice Camps for Kids WA, there are a number of ‘Action Groups’ set up to provide support and assistance in the coordination of activities and events for Edmund Rice Camps for Kids WA.
The Action Groups play a major role in the overall functionality of the organisation and in conjunction with the ERCKWA Board and staff members they are responsible for the preparation, facilitation and evaluation of all ERCKWA events and activities. The Action Groups consist of volunteers as well as a staff member who is there to assist volunteers and provide communication with the Board.
Currently there are SIX Action Groups working on a variety of events, goals and objectives, all vital to the future development and sustainability of Edmund Rice Camps for Kids WA:
