VOLUNTEER CODE OF ETHICS

YMCA’S POSITION ON THE NATION-WIDE PROBLEM OF CHILD ABUSE

We make an active effort to prevent child abuse, which include but not limited to the following: A background check, references from past employers and volunteer organizations.

Volunteers should not put themselves in a position where they are alone with a single child and cannot be observed by others. Periodic interviews/evaluations are conducted with children and parents regarding day to day experiences, encouraging reports of any out of the ordinary events. Allegations or suspicions of child abuse are taken seriously and are reported to the police and state agencies for investigation.

Outside of YMCA programs, Y volunteers are discouraged to be alone with children they meet in YMCA programs. The YMCA goals for children are:

  1. To help children develop to their fullest potential.
  2. To deliver programs in a positive YMCA environment of safety, support and care.
  3. To support and strengthen the family unit.

VOLUNTEER CODE OF ETHICS AND RULES

I have been informed of the YMCAs position regarding child abuse, and have read and understand that portion of my Volunteer Application and Agreement titled YMCAs Position on the Nation-Wide Problem of Child Abuse, and Code of Conduct. I understand that in addition to the mandates described in this Volunteer Code of Ethics and Rules, the YMCA will, among other things, conduct a through background check and conduct periodic interviews/evaluations with children and parents to encourage reports of anything out of the ordinary.

I understand that allegations or suspicions of child abuse are taken very seriously by the YMCA and will be reported to the State for investigation and that the YMCA will fully cooperate with any related investigations and will pursue the prosecution of child abusers to its full extend under the laws of this State.

I understand that any violation of this Code may be grounds for removal as a volunteer. Being fully aware of the matters contained in this Volunteer Code of Ethics and Rules, I still desire consideration as a volunteer for the YMCA.

I received a copy of the YMCAs Code of Conduct and understand that

  • Children must be supervised at all times
  • Volunteers may not abuse children; any type of abuse will be cause for immediate dismissal
  • Volunteers shall refrain from intimate displays of affection towards others in the presence of children, parents,
  • and staff
  • Using, possessing, or being under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs during volunteer hours is prohibited

  • demonstrating, or supervising a sports activity is allowed

I have received the YMCA’s Position on the Nation-Wide Problem of Child Abuse and have read and understand said position.
