ACTS Code of Ethics
All volunteers of ACTS will agree to abide by the following code of ethics;
As an ACTS Volunteer, I agree to:
1. Respect and protect client's rights to privacy by treating all information revealed by a client as confidential.
2. Adhere to ACTS' administrative policies and supervision.
3. Accept the right of the client to maintain his own value system and lifestyle.
4. Be dependable in honoring all commitments to clients.
5. Act with respect, integrity, professionalism and forthrightness in association with clients, fellow volunteers, donors and ACTS staff members.
6. Provide your Covid vaccination card. You must be up to date with all Covid shots. Covid vaccination card must be produced upon arrival to a staff Supervisor/Manager prior to starting your volunteer shift. If you are not vaccinated please be prepared to be tested weekly (as a courtesy) prior to any volunteering. Testing availability may vary due to test shortages, if ACTS is unable to provide on site testing and you are not fully vaccinated you will not be able to volunteer.
7. Advise the Volunteer Coordinator or Program/Department Manager as soon as possible or within 3 days at most, of a positive COVID-19 result, report immediately any possible COVID related symptom/s or if you could have been exposed to COVID. Failure to do so signifies immediate termination of volunteering privileges.
Not following the code of ethics will result in termination from any volunteer program. Additionally, ACTS will not be responsible for any missing required hours that were not able to be completed due to being removed.
