Lead Pathfinder Workshop - 20th September 2025, Johor

Equipping EPIC Lead Pathfinders to enable community impact

EPIC is looking for adventurous individuals who are passionate about understanding people, communities and telling stories to join us as Lead Pathfinders.

Lead Pathfinders are a vital part of the EPIC volunteer network. They establish the first contact with target communities and kickstart the mapping process while ensuring that the right tone is set for partnership with marginalised communities.

We’re looking to map communities that are looking to create a better future for themselves so that interested individuals and organisations can partner with them.
So far, we’ve identified a few interested villages within a 3-hour drive of Johor Bahru* and now, we’re looking for individuals who want to become Lead Pathfinders in order to complete this mission!

If you're interested, register your interest here to become a Lead Pathfinder today and a member of our team will get in touch for a short online interview!
