Volunteer Agreement

Mission Services ackowledges the valuable contributions of volunteers to its programs. We are grateful for the dedication of individuals and groups willing to offer time and effort to help us help others. In fulfilling our mission to respond to the needs of vulnerable people in our community, it is necessary that Mission Services follow specific screening procedures to ensure the safety and protection of our clients, volunteers and staff. Therefore, volunteers are asked to read and sign the following statement as part of the volunteer process. In applying for volunteer work at Mission services of Hamilton, I understand that false, incomplete or misleading information on the application shall be considered sufficient cause for not recruiting me as a volunteer or for dismissal if so required. After a successful interview, I agree to a Volunteer Criminal Reference Check conducted through the Hamilton Police Services (currently the cost of this is $15.00). I authorize Mission Services to contact the references that I have indicated on the application. I acknowledge that I meet the minimum age requirement of 16 years and understand that some programs within Mission Services may require an older age to volunteer at that particular program. I understand that Mission Services will review any of their databases regarding any contact I may have had with the agency. I understand that the information disclosed about me may, but does not necessarily, disqualify me from becoming a volunteer with Mission Services of Hamilton. At any point during the application or screening process, Mission Services reserves the right to decide on the suitability of an applicant for a volunteer position within the agency.
