By volunteering for FamilyPoint I agree to follow these procedures to the best of my ability to help protect those most vulnerable in our community. I acknowledge that FamilyPoint cannot eliminate the threat of COVID or other infectious diseases but is implementing programs to help reduce the risk of spread.
I agree
Photo and Video Consent

Acknowledgement of Risk, Reporting and Release
*
I, certify and agree that I am over the age of 18 years of age and have freely and voluntarily executed this Acknowledgement of Risk, Reporting and Release (this “Release”). In consideration of being allowed to volunteer for FamilyPoint, I acknowledge and agree as follows. FamilyPoint operates in a public forum inside a shared building and outside in shared space with the public. In addition, FamilyPoint is visited by and serves children with different emotional needs and behavioral issues. FamilyPoint has rules and policies for volunteers for FamilyPoint and participants in FamilyPoint activities to try to keep both volunteers and participants safe while maintaining freedom of expression and active play. Even if everyone followed all rules and policies, there is still a risk to both participants and volunteers of serious injury with the potential of permanent disability or death. As a volunteer, I agree to follow all rules and policies for FamilyPoint volunteers and fully understand that such rules and policies will not eliminate the potential for injury or death and I fully assume such risk, on my behalf. I acknowledge that FamilyPoint has made a good faith effort to make FamilyPoint space and activities reasonably safe for volunteers. I also agree that if I observe any unsafe or inappropriate activity or behavior of any FamilyPoint participants or volunteers I will report such activities to the FamilyPoint staff. I will also report to FamilyPoint staff if I notice any person who is not a volunteer or participant in FamilyPoint activities that is noticeably loitering near or suspiciously observing FamilyPoint activities or participants. If I notice any unsafe or inappropriate behavior of any FamilyPoint staff, I will report it to the executive director. I knowingly and freely assume all risks for volunteering for FamilyPoint whether known or unknown, which may be connected with or arise out FamilyPoint activities for which I volunteer. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I forever indemnify, release, and hold harmless FamilyPoint, its officers, directors, agents, employees, volunteers and sponsors and any owners or lessors of premises or property used in FamilyPoint activities, from any and all liability, claims damages, losses and expenses of any kind (including attorney fees), for property damage or personal injury, including disability or death, which may arise in any way out of volunteering for FamilyPoint. This release should be interpreted as broadly as allowed under applicable law. In the case that a medical emergency I authorize the bearer of this form to approve any medical treatment or medication deemed immediately necessary by a medical professional and agree that all emergency medical assistance conducted by FamilyPoint, its officers, directors, agents, employees, volunteers and sponsors and any owners or lessors of premises or property used in FamilyPoint activities shall be considered “Good Samaritan” or similar emergency assistance under applicable law.
I agree
