Volunteer Agreement

This agreement is intended to indicate the value which Adult Literacy Trust (ALT) places on its volunteers, and does not represent a contract of employment.

To respect the skills, dignity and individual needs of the volunteer
To be receptive to any comments from the volunteer regarding ways in which ALT might mutually better accomplish our respective tasks
To treat the volunteer as a key partner alongside the organisation's staff, supporting the completion of the organisation's goals and the fulfilment of its purpose
To provide a reference, subject to satisfactory completion of tasks and duties

ALT's volunteers will aim:

To perform their volunteer duties as set out in the agreed role description, to the best of their ability
To adhere to the organisation's rules and procedures, including health and safety, equal opportunities, confidentiality and others
