Community service

  1. PREFACE

This policy is in effect for all members of the “Fuzion Volleyball Club”, herein after referred to as the Club.

  1. GOAL

The Club is committed to giving back to our community through various activities, including Community Service. The goal of this policy is to put a framework around the Club’s efforts to engage our community in acts of service so that we are working in a consistent, meaningful and productive way.
