IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
We thank you for volunteering and deeply appreciate the time, effort, and commitment contributed by all of our volunteers. Raleigh City Farm is dedicated to fostering an environment grounded in reciprocal respect and communication between staff and volunteers. To ensure a meaningful experience for all, Raleigh City Farm staff reserve the right to revoke volunteer privileges and request that any individual leave the premises at any time.
Volunteers are welcomed and expected to contribute their skills, knowledge, and abilities in the following ways:
- Assist staff in performing routine farm activities and specialized tasks.
- Follow instructions carefully, seek clarification when needed, and complete assignments in a timely and responsible manner.
- Communicate any issues or concerns that may impact your ability to engage with the farm or the task at hand.
- Accept guidance and constructive feedback from volunteer coordinators or designated staff members.
- Maintain Raleigh City Farm standards of confidentiality.
In turn, Raleigh City Farm staff are committed to the following:
- Treat volunteers with respect, recognizing them as valued members of the Raleigh City Farm team.
- Clearly communicate expectations for assignments and provide appropriate orientation and training.
- Respond reasonably and supportively to any communication regarding a volunteer’s ability to carry out assigned tasks, including offering necessary information or accommodations as appropriate.
Volunteers and parents of volunteers agreeing to participate in volunteer activities must recognize and appreciate that there are always inherent risks of injury associated with any volunteer activities. Such risks will vary depending upon the nature of the particular volunteer activity and the physical condition of the volunteer.
Please recognize that Raleigh City Farm does not carry medical/accident insurance for injuries sustained in its volunteer programs. It should be further recognized that the absence of medical/accident insurance does not make Raleigh City Farm responsible for the payment or reimbursement of medical expenses. Therefore, each person participating in volunteer activities, and/or their parents, does so at their own risk and is solely responsible for any injuries or medical costs incurred as a result of volunteer activities.
