Lead Pathfinder Workshop

Equipping Epic Lead Pathfinders to enable community impact

We are on a mission to map communities aspiring for change

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

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 8 interested villages around Selangor and now, we’re looking for individuals who want to become Lead Pathfinders in order to complete this mission!

Lead Pathfinders are a vital part of the Epic volunteer network. They establish the first contact with target communities. They kickstart the mapping process while ensuring that the right tone is set for partnership with marginalised communities. They then collect and interpret community data into compelling stories. This is done to attract & connect change makers to assist communities in achieving their aspirations.

If you're interested, come join us! We are running our first Lead Pathfinder workshop for 2023!
