Volunteer Waiver and Confidentiality Form
Volunteer Waiver and Confidentiality Form
This waiver clarifies that the Volunteer understands that their relationship with Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary (SLCHNS) is limited to a volunteer position and that no compensation or benefits traditionally associated with employment is expected in return for services provided by the Volunteer.
Further I understand, acknowledge and consent as follows:
1. Waiver and Release: I hereby assume all risks and responsibilities for participation in SLCHNS volunteer roles and waive, release and discharge the Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary Society and their officers, directors, employees and agents, from any responsibility for any harm, loss, personal injury, or death resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with volunteer activities at the Sanctuary.
2. Risk Assessment: I understand there are risks associated with participating as a volunteer including, but not limited to, habitat restoration work with gardening tools, moving over rocky, slick or steep ground or interaction with the natural environment and animals. I recognize and understand that these activities could include the possibility of injury and hereby expressly assume the risk of injury or harm and release SLCHNS from all liability. Injuries sustained may receive suitable first aid medical treatment which may be deemed advisable in the event of injury or sudden illness.
3. Confidentiality: I acknowledge that during my volunteering or association with SLCHNS I may acquire information which is confidential to SLCHNS, or to related persons, or or institutions, including but not limited to:
- Financial and/or business information
- Confidential information about members, volunteers, donors, staff or program attendants
- Organizational decisions or conclusions
I acknowledge and agree that such information is the exclusive property of SLCHNS or such related party and that the information must not be used to the detriment of the Society. I therefore will treat confidentially all such information and agree not to disclose any such information to any unauthorized person either during the term of my volunteering under this agreement or after my volunteering and or association with SLCHNS has ceased.
4. I verify that I will provide relevant information about my skill level, capability and health and keep the staff updated on any changes. I am physically and mentally capable of fulfilling my volunteer duties as a SLCHNS volunteer.
