VOLUNTEER AGREEMENT

In consideration of this opportunity to volunteer for Central Valley Rescue Railroad, I agree to the following terms and conditions, intending to be legally bonding to them:

• I will abide by the mission, rules, regulations, policies, and programs of  CVRR while I am a volunteer.

• My primary customers are the “animals” at the rescue and their well-being and humane treatment are foremost in the performance of all CVRR volunteer activities.

• I will not engage in any unsafe, illegal, or unethical activities while serving as a CVRR volunteer.

• As a condition of volunteering, which I acknowledge to be adequate consideration, I also agree to hold CVRR harmless and enter into an additional waiver of liability contemporaneously with this volunteer agreement.

LIABILITY RELEASE WAIVER

1. I recognize that while performing my services in a voluntary capacity, in handling animals, there exists a risk of injury, including physical harm to me. On behalf of myself, my heirs, and personal representatives, I hereby release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless Central Valley Rescue Railroad, it Board of Directors, agents, servants, and employees from any and all claims, causes of action or demands of any nature or cause connected with my volunteer service. This might include costs, attorney’s fees, and court costs incurred by CVRR in connection with my volunteer services based on damages or injuries which may be incurred or sustained by me in some way in the prosecution of the volunteer work. Such damages or injuries might include, but are not limited to animal bites, accidents, injuries, or personal property damage.
2. I also agree to release, discharge, indemnify, and hold CVRR harmless for any and all damages to my personal property while performing my services to CVRR in a voluntary capacity.
3. If I am signing this release form as a parent or legal guardian of a minor volunteer (under 18 years of age), I hereby give my consent to allow my child (ward) to volunteer services for Central Valley Rescue Railroad. I understand that such a minor child is not covered by the agency’s worker’s compensation or liability policy and I agree to hold CVRR harmless for any claim, loss or damage incurred by such child.
4. I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand the terms and conditions of the foregoing liability release waiver.

I have reviewed the above conditions and understand that failing to uphold them is sufficient grounds for CVRR to request and implement my removal as a volunteer.*
