Youth Volunteer Parent Waiver Form

Policy for Youth Volunteers at The Lamb Center

 

At The Lamb Center, we strive to create a welcoming environment for both guests and volunteers. This involves providing services for our guests in a respectful manner and ensuring that each volunteer who comes to The Lamb Center has a good experience.

Although we make every effort to keep The Lamb Center safe, we cannot be in all places at all times. In particular, we serve a population that includes those whose behavior is unpredictable and those who have been convicted of sex offenses.

Adults bringing young people to volunteer at The Lamb Center must be aware of this fact, and must be willing to carry the full responsibility for the safety of the youth they supervise. To achieve these ends, we have the following policy for youths volunteering at The Lamb Center:

  • Volunteers ages 18 and up (who are free of a criminal background) are eligible to volunteer in any capacity within the Lamb
  • Volunteers between 14 and 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and the parent or guardian must sign a waiver for the minor to Minors must be with their parent or guardian at all times while at the Lamb Center.

We recognize that some children and adults are more mature than others. However, we have established this policy based on our experience working with a wide range of groups and individuals over the years.

  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

  • Waiver:


    I understand that minors volunteering at The Lamb Center face risks because of the population of guests served, which includes those with unpredictable behavior and those who have been convicted of sex offenses.

    I am aware of this fact, and I am willing to bear full responsibility for the risks my child faces as a youth volunteer at The Lamb Center.

    Additionally, I agree to supervise my child and ensure that they are with me at all times, while serving at the Lamb Center.
