RED SHOE CREW VOLUNTEER AGREEMENT
REQUIRED FOR RSC and Supporter Memberships ONLY
By clicking on the "Checkout" button below, I agree to uphold the Red Shoe Crew Volunteer Agreement.
Volunteering with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas (RMHCA) includes certain responsibilities and protections for both volunteers and the families served. As a volunteer, I agree to comply with the following expectations:
1. To conduct myself in a professional manner. I will ask staff for clarification on any expectation, policy or procedure I do not understand.
2. To treat all staff, other volunteers, and families with courtesy and respect in an equal and important manner, without regard to gender, race, religion, diagnosis, or any other factor.
3. To respect all families' rights to confidentiality. I will not give out any information regarding families (medical or other) to anyone unless specifically approved by staff.
4. To separate myself from families. I understand that this environment is emotionally complex, due to interaction with patients, their siblings and families, as well as other volunteers and staff. I understand my role is strictly of a supportive nature.
I will not over-involve myself with any single family, or child, at any time for any reason, and will treat all families equally. To ensure this does not happen, I will not:
• Visit with families and their patient(s) at any time other than during my time at Red Shoe Crew sponsored events.
• Buy gifts for a specific child or family. I understand that RMHCA’s policy is “ALL families or none.”
• Withhold any concerns expressed by a child or family; if heard I will immediately inform staff.
• Exchange any personal contact information, home/work addresses, phone number, email, social media, etc.
• Directly post any information about a patient or family on my social media, understanding that I may share any RMHCA social media post.
• Cannot take photos or videos of families served by RMHCA
• Transport any family in my personal vehicle or in the RMHCA vehicle.
5. I will do my best to make the House a place of comfort and support for families. I will offer encouragement to families, but will not advise them in any way.
6. I will not proselytize or promote religious, political beliefs, and causes in the House.
7. I understand that Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas and its staff are not liable for any stolen or missing personal property or for any injury sustained while volunteering at RMHCA or any RMHCA/Red Shoe Crew hosted events.
8. I understand all expectations, and that Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas may terminate my services at any time and for any reason.
For the safety and security of the families we serve, RMHCA conducts background checks on board, staff, volunteers, and families alike. I hereby authorize RMHCA to conduct a background check on my behalf. I understand that the results are kept confidential and that volunteering in the House is contingent upon its results.
