Read below:

  1. Volunteers are expected to respect their Team Leader, elders and their fellow volunteers.

2.  Volunteers are expected to dress and behave appropriately when volunteering on behalf of our organization

3.  Any mis-behavior at an activity or project by a volunteer will not be tolerated and may result in dismissal from the project with no assigned hours.

Some behavior incidents may result in discussions with parents or guardians, and possible removal from all volunteer activities.

4.  When volunteers sign up for a project , the temple administrator/volunteer lead will confirm their volunteering activity. (we encourage volunteers to only sign up for projects that they know they can commit to.)

5. We understand that schedules can change! Volunteers can remove themselves from an activity by contacting their teamleader/volunteer lead atleast a day in advance. “No shows” will be tracked.

6. As a faith based organization, we strongly believe in truth , ethics, moral values and service, if you are reporting your role or hours for university applications and they are untrue , the organization will not respond to the verification request. In extreme cases the organization will let the verifier know of the inaccuracies in the applications. (eg. things that do not qualify as volunteering: helping a family member, holding door open for someone to come in, attending prayer sessions (with or without your family members), participating in events/rehearsals, adhoc/one off help lasting less than 2 hours during any events, if someone asks you to help serving food, clearing an area or bagging garbage then these are ‘seva’ (service) activities and not deemed volunteering).

7. Tasks that qualify towards your volunteer hours must be preapproved and discussed with your volunteer lead.

8. We prefer long term commitment, but some times need short term volunteers for specific events. Please let your volunteer lead know your availability.

9. Volunteer safety and wellbeing is of utmost important, all volunteers are required to be vigilant and report any unsafe conditions to team leads or any other adults.

10. Verification requests should be emailed to info@anaghadatta.org
