Official Volunteer Code of Conduct Contract
Official Volunteer Code of Conduct Contract
I understand that a volunteer is a visitor, and as a result, I may be asked to modify lifestyles or habits so as not to
be offensive to local customs, cultures, and traditions. I will be sensitive to these local norms and take cues from
chaperones, fellow volunteers, and staff and volunteers of the groups and organizations with whom I will be interacting.
On workdays, I understand that I must be ready for work at the designated time. At job sites, I will use tools,
supplies and other resources responsibly. I will not use any tools or machinery or engage in any activity my parent or
guardian has not consented to. I will follow all safety guidelines, wear proper work attire, and use necessary safety
equipment.
I recognize that I will be staying at a facility that houses many other volunteers. I will obey the rules and
regulations of the facilities. I understand I will be expected to help maintain the facility. Each day, I will be expected to
help in the cleanup of the room in which I am staying, assist in trash removal, clean-up after meals, and help to maintain the
bathroom and shower facilities. I will also be assigned additional daily chores and duties that I will carry out.
I acknowledge The NOLA Tree has put in place rules strictly prohibiting specific behavior and conduct. These
include:
• Possession or use of alcohol, tobacco (under the age of 18) and/or drugs. Medications provided by a
physician and with a physician’s prescription are permitted.
• Sexual activity of any kind. Certain displays of affection may also be deemed to be inappropriate by a
chaperone. Instant compliance with the chaperone’s judgment will be expected.
• Violation of curfew.
• Use of foul language, vandalism, stealing or any other form of social indecency.
As a volunteer, I acknowledge that if I violate any of the above-mentioned polices, I will be asked to leave the
program at my own expense.
By signing this Code of Conduct Contract, I am agreeing to and understand all that has been stated above.
