Crownsavers Volunteers
Why become a Volunteer?
Volunteers are the backbone of Credit Unions and without their commitment and enthusiasm there would not be Credit Unions.
Crownsavers values their volunteers and the contribution they make.
The amount of time a Credit Union volunteer gives depends entirely on each individual. It can vary from 2 hours a fortnight to 3 or 4 hours per week. All people willing to assist are welcome and needed. There are a number of different volunteer roles. These can involve being:
- Admin duties within the Credit Union office, which will give practical experience knowledge which could be useful when seeking employment.
- A Director : of the Credit Union who is elected by the members and is responsible for the management and policies of the Credit Union.
- An Officer on the Credit Committee : that deals with all the loan applications.
- An Officer on the Internal Audit Committee : that examines the records and policies of the Credit Union.
