Meet the Trainer
EPC has decades worth of experience in managing volunteers. Under Krystal Wallis’ leadership they have worked on their philosophy and practice to the point where their volunteers now report a 99% satisfaction rate with their work and how they are treated. This is unheard of on any satisfaction surveys that are done around staff or volunteers.
This is your opportunity to come and learn from the best, pick up ideas and be mentored into getting your program onto the same path to success.
