Volunteer Terms & Conditions

1

Volunteer Status

Participation as a volunteer is voluntary. Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, volunteers are not employees, independent contractors, agents, or representatives authorized to legally bind The Walker Foundation. Volunteer service does not create an entitlement to wages, benefits, compensation, or future employment.

2

Registration & Account Information

Volunteers agree to provide accurate and current information during registration. Each volunteer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for activity conducted through their authorized account. Accounts may not be shared or transferred.

3

Volunteer Approval

Registration does not guarantee acceptance or placement as a volunteer. The Walker Foundation reserves the right to approve, deny, reassign, suspend, or discontinue participation when reasonably necessary for event operations, safety, policy compliance, or organizational needs.

4

Volunteer Conduct

Volunteers are expected to treat others respectfully, follow instructions from authorized Foundation representatives, maintain appropriate behavior, follow event, venue, safety, and security requirements, remain within assigned roles, protect confidential information, and report safety concerns or emergencies.

5

Child & Youth Protection

Volunteers working with or around children must follow applicable Foundation child-protection procedures. Volunteers may not engage in unauthorized one-on-one activities with minors, transport a child without authorization, obtain unnecessary personal information from a child, or communicate privately with a minor outside authorized Foundation activities.

Privacy & Confidentiality

Volunteers may encounter confidential or personal information concerning children, parents, guardians, attendees, donors, partners, volunteers, or Foundation operations. Such information may only be accessed and used for authorized volunteer responsibilities.
