What are YOU interested in?
At the JVCLT we use sociocracy to govern our organization. Sociocracy is a system of governance based on democratic values of equity, freedom, and collaboration. Within this inclusive model, all voices are valued, and decision-making powers are spread out across different teams or "circles." These circles are often related and overlapping, and sometimes have their own sub-circles. All circles report to the General Circle, which includes the Board of Directors, but have their own independence as well.
​
At the JVCLT, we currently have six circles in addition to the General Circle. Below is a brief description of each circle's domain and responsibilities, to give you an idea of where YOU might fit in!
