1.       I agree that as a CCE volunteer my participation in the activities outlined in the attached volunteer position description is without monetary compensation or other valuable consideration.  That document, including the Code of Conduct it contains, shall be considered a part of this agreement.

 

2.       I understand that I do not have a formal work appointment for the agreed upon services.  I understand that CCE shall have the right to suspend or release me as a volunteer at any time and that I also have the right to terminate this agreement unless I am committing my volunteer time in exchange for education.

 

3.       I understand that CCE does not provide volunteers with medical insurance; therefore CCE is not responsible for any medical expenses incurred by me.  Further, I understand that I am neither covered by Worker’s Compensation nor entitled to employee benefits as a result of my CCE volunteer affiliation.

5.       CCE agrees to provide the orientation, training, supervision and support necessary for my successful fulfillment of responsibilities.
