VOLUNTEER - Andover Y

Description

• The YMCA was founded on a simple but powerful idea: by bringing neighbors together to advance the common good, we can improve lives and strengthen communities . You can be that neighbor by serving as a volunteer of the Greater Wichita YMCA.
• One of the simplest and best reasons to volunteer is to become an engaged member of your community - to meet people and build new friendships and connections. Few things can compare to knowing you have contributed to helping your community.
• Through these efforts, volunteers help the Y remain relevant and responsive to community needs while enhancing the Y's capacity to help more people access the resources and support they need to be healthy, confident, and connected.

By completing a volunteer application I agree to the following terms:

This agreement is entered into between the GREATER WICHITA YMCA and you to govern volunteer services.

I understand that I am a volunteer for a non-profit social service agency and I am donating my time/service to the Greater Wichita YMCA ("YMCA").

I will not receive any compensation, benefits or exchange of privileges in return for service. No reimbursement for any personal expenses or auto use related to this position shall be provided unless clearly agreed upon in advance.

If I am injured while volunteering for the YMCA, I will not receive workers compensation. I further release the Greater Wichita YMCA, its sponsors, staff and partners from all claims of injury which may be sustained while participating in any YMCA-sponsored activity, whether caused by the negligence of the YMCA or otherwise.

If medical attention is required, I give my permission for such medical care. I may encounter confidential and/or proprietary information, and I agree to keep said information confidential.

Failure to perform my assigned duties or follow YMCA policies, practices and/or the Volunteer Handbook may result in the termination of the volunteer relationship. Either the YMCA or I can sever the volunteer relationship at any time with or without notice or cause.

I give permission for the YMCA to use, without limitation or obligation, photographs or other media that may include my image or voice to promote or interpret YMCA programs. Information may be released through public media, but not limited to websites, social media, artwork, contests, printed material, etc.

I certify that all statements made by me on my application are true to the best of my knowledge and that I have withheld nothing that would, if disclosed, affect this application unfavorably.

I authorize the Greater Wichita YMCA to investigate and verify any and all of the information I have submitted. I understand and agree that any misrepresentation or omission of facts would exclude me from consideration for volunteer service or, after my service begins, may be cause for ending my service.
