SECTION UNDER CONSTRUCTION

“Straight to the Core” – The Path from Volunteer to Core Member

This section is currently being built as part of our internal training and leadership certification system.

When complete, it will serve as a comprehensive playbook for every role within The Core of Volunteers — from event setup to strategic leadership. It will include:

• Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for every position, explaining how to perform each task without supervision.
• Rank-based progression guides (1–4) showing exactly how volunteers can advance toward paid or leadership roles.
• Testing and certification steps to verify understanding, earn badges, and unlock new responsibilities.
• Playbooks and checklists for daily, weekly, and event-based operations so every mission runs smoothly and transparently.

This section will become the foundation of our Straight to the Core advancement program — the bridge between volunteering and professional leadership inside the movement.

Expected Completion: Draft 1 in development — rolling release begins soon.
