Christmas Shop Volunteers

I agree to work for Help One Child and Union Presbyterian Church (the “Nonprofits”) as a volunteer December 18, 2024 at the Last Chance Christmas Shop held at Union Presbyterian Church – herein described as the “Event”.

2. As a volunteer, I understand that I control the dates and times that I agree to do the work and that neither Nonprofit is responsible for scheduling my volunteer work. I also understand that I will not be compensated for any time spent volunteering, nor am I entitled to benefits, including employment insurance benefits upon the termination of this agreement or as a result of this service.

3. I am aware that participation as a volunteer may require periods devoted to outdoor games and will require the exercise of reasonable care to avoid injury. I am voluntarily participating in this Event with knowledge of these activities and agree to accept any and all risks of personal injury and property damage.

4. As consideration for volunteering for these Nonprofits I hereby agree that I, and my assignees, heirs, guardians, and legal representatives, will not make a claim against or sue the Nonprofits or their employees, agents or contractors for injury or damage resulting from the negligence, whether active or passive, or other acts, however caused, by any of its officers, employees, agents, or contractors of either Nonprofit as a result of my volunteering.

5. I HEREBY RELEASE AND DISCHARGE THE NONPROFITS AND THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND CONTRACTORS FROM ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS, OR DEMANDS THAT I, MY HEIRS, GUARDIANS, AND LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES NOW HAVE, OR MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE, FOR INJURY OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM MY PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENT.

6. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF I AM INJURED IN THE COURSE OF THE EVENT, I AM NOT COVERED BY THE NONPROFITS WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAM. I authorize the Nonprofits to seek emergency medical treatment on my behalf in case of injury, accident or illness to me arising from my involvement as a volunteer. I understand that I will be responsible for medical costs incurred by such accident, illness or injury.

7. I understand that any equipment, crafts or other materials provided by the Nonprofits are and remain the property of the Nonprofits and I agree to return any remaining materials to the Nonprofits at the end of my volunteer service.

8. I, hereby, authorize the making of photographs, motion pictures, videotapes, recordings, or other memorializing of said event and his/her participation therein, and the publication or other use thereof. I, hereby, waive any right to compensation therefore or any right that I otherwise might have to limit or control such.

I have carefully read this agreement and fully understand its contents. I am aware that this is a release of liability and a sign at my own free will.*
