The Rights and Responsibilities of Volunteers

Often times, new volunteers begin volunteer opportunities without being fully aware of what they are responsible for or what their rights are within the organizations. They may be so excited that they commit to a bigger project than they have time for. Or, they may not know important information about the organization, like that there is a confidentiality policy.

The link below is a clear-cut list of the responsibilities and rights of both the volunteer organizations and the volunteers. This way, volunteers will not fall through the cracks and can make the best out of their volunteering experiences.
