A minimum of 4 hours monthly is required to maintain your
Volunteer status. {This doesn't mean that we count minutes, but we
really need to rely on an ongoing commitment so "the same old Volunteers"
are not doing all of the activities.}If your Volunteer status changes,
simply tell us and we'll keep you busy if you have more time, or make a
notation in your file that you are temporarily occupied and cannot
volunteer for a given period, whatever the case may be. If you find
that you are not able to attend an activity that you have volunteered
for Please contact the respective Committee Coordinator with as much
notice as possible.

Each Volunteer is required to sign a confidentiality agreement
as part of the application process. It is important to remind all
Volunteers that they may be exposed to sensitive information which must
not be repeated or used.

Image is paramount in any business or organization. The same
rules apply when attending an event or function as an Official CHILD
FIND representative, such as: being punctual, being prepared and being
professional.
|
|
All Volunteers subscribe to the code of Ethics of carrying out
their Volunteer duties honestly, with integrity and humanity. A
Volunteer is not permitted to use their position with the organization
to make any "unofficial statements" or to gain direct material benefit
resulting from such association.
|
|
Volunteers who have not been briefed or authorized must not
engage in media (newspaper, radio, TV) interviews. A designated and
approved CHILD FIND Chapter spokesperson should be available if press
is expected at an event.
|
|
Any costs incurred by the Volunteer in carrying out his or her
duties are, unless otherwise previously approved, borne by the
Volunteer. The event organizers usually provide members with beverages
and sometimes a snack, however, you should inquire so you can prepare
accordingly.

Get involved and make use of all of the opportunities discussed here.
