YesNo

Thank you for wanting to give back to your community. Please know if we are currently serving you in some way through our Food Program, Shelter or Shower House that volunteer opportunities are limited, not consistent and we cannot guarantee that we have a position for you to fill.

In order to volunteer and remain a volunteer we do ask three things of you:

1. You inhabit a spirit of peace (No cursing, no intimidation and no physical altercations and anything that relates.)

2. You take your prescribed medication

3. You avoid drug/alcohol abuse. If you agree to these three things please sign below.

This authorization and consent for release of my personal information acknowledges that the Downtown Hope Center, DHC, and its agent Alaska Christian Ministries Assoc, may now or at any time I am assigned to volunteer at DHC conduct investigations into criminal records, dept. of correction records and sex offender records.

I understand that these records will be used to determine my eligibility for volunteer duties at DHC. Therefore, I authorize and consent to the full release of those records to the authorized representative of DHC; and I release the custodians of the records from all liability to me that might arise from retrieving and accurately reporting the information to DHC.

I/we know and acknowledge that persons served by DHC are, in the nature of DHC’s mission, sometimes ill, unstable, abusive and/or violent, and that assisting its clientele can entail risk to myself of possible bodily injury, property damages, illness and /or other loss. I willingly assume that risk. If my volunteered service is accepted by DHC, I fully and completely release DHC from any and all liability the law might otherwise impose on it for any such injury, damage, loss or other harm to myself and /or personal property that might arise or occur in the course of my service.

Child Policy

We welcome you and your child(ren) to volunteer together. Children ages 0-5, must have 1 adult per child. There must be one adult to every three children between the ages of 5-14. Children 15 to 18 years old can be without adult supervision. Parents are responsible for their children. The Downtown Hope Center is not responsible for caring for your child while you are serving. If your family is deemed a safety hazard by the Downtown Hope Center staff, you may be relieved of your volunteer duties.

Example: If you are volunteering with five minors under the age of 14 there should be two adult volunteer applications with the minor information portion of the application filled out.

This is a safety measure for both you and your family, our staff and our building.
By filling out this portion of the application I acknowledge I have read and understand the above paragraph:
