The IVC is conducting a National IVC Registration Drive to help build a stronger, more sustainable IVC. All IVC volunteers in BC are requested to register themselves at their respective Jamatkhanas from August 15 to 27, 2014. A special Volunteers’ Day will coincide with the kick off for the National IVC Registration Drive on Friday, August 15, 2014.
Registration takes 15 minutes per volunteer. Youth aged 17 and under require parental consent. All IVC members, young and not-so-young, are encouraged to take part in this first-ever Canadian IVC Registration. For more information, please contact your Jamatkhana Captain.
The Ismaili Volunteer Corps (IVC) is a well-recognized visible symbol of the ethic of service in our Jamat. You are the pride of our Imam and the Canadian Jamat. Mowlana Hazar Imam showed this pride in Parliament when he said: “ The Canadian spirit resonates with a cherished principle in Shia Ismaili culture – the importance of contributing one’s individual energies on a voluntary basis to improving the lives of others. This is not a matter of philanthropy, but rather of self-fulfillment – “enlightened self-fulfillment.”
You represent a powerful resource for our institutions. As our Jamat continues to evolve and with new Imamat projects coming to Canada this Fall, we need your help to build a stronger, more sustainable IVC for the future. To do this, it is important that we understand who makes up the IVC across Canada and the valuable experience and skills each person brings.
Be sure to register in this unique Canada-wide IVC Registration drive . You can expect registration to take 15 minutes per volunteer. Registration desks will be open at your Jamatkhana for only 7-10 days starting on August 15th. Make sure you count yourself in so you don't get left out!
