Ecology Ottawa is volunteer-driven. We exist because hundreds of volunteers come together and make us what we are.
Please note that new volunteer intake is now closed. This page remains accessible for existing volunteers to have access to the required agreement. If you are interested in signing up as a new volunteer, please email [email protected] before completing this form.
By submitting this Volunteer Agreement, I agree to serve as a volunteer for Ecology Ottawa.
I am aware that this is an unsalaried volunteer contribution on my part. I will do my best to provide a schedule of available times I can volunteer and to respect the time commitments I make to Ecology Ottawa. I will provide quality services to the best of my knowledge and ability. I will refer requests for information or services which I am not specifically trained or able to provide to appropriate Ecology Ottawa members. I agree to bring any problems that may arise in the course of my volunteering directly to a staff member for resolution. I understand that I must have authorization from Ecology Ottawa to speak on behalf of the organization or identify myself with the organization. I understand that any documents, notes, interview transcripts, recordings, photographs, drafts or other materials will remain the property of Ecology Ottawa and that the originals of such materials must be left in their custody. I agree to maintain a sound state of mind during the time in which I represent Ecology Ottawa and its initiatives. I agree that I will not use my association with Ecology Ottawa for political gain, nor will I promote my personal or political beliefs and activities through Ecology Ottawa’s email lists, groups or networks. I agree to treat all individuals without prejudice or discrimination of any kind, and I can expect the same treatment from Ecology Ottawa’s volunteers and staff members. I agree to provide services in a non-judgmental manner, without regard to sexual orientation, gender, race, physical capabilities, educational level, political opinion or income.
I agree to keep confidential all data from Ecology Ottawa including the outreach canvass, names, contact information and credit card information. I understand that this information belongs solely to Ecology Ottawa. I will not sell, trade or give away this information, and understand that to do so would be illegal under the Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act (Division 1).
