Respectful and strict confidentiality is expected of all volunteers. All observed or communicated information, whether obtained formally or informally, is to be considered completely confidential - even if it seems public or unrelated to GRRP. Names and identities of clients are also confidential.

By participating as a volunteer, I agree to respect the privacy of other volunteers, staff, and clients and not to disclose anything that is discussed during hours of service, before or after hours of service, or during breaks from hours of service. If at any time I violate the confidentiality of another volunteer or client, I understand that my participation with GRRP is terminated and I will face the full legal consequences of my actions up to, and including, fines and imprisonment.

Release of Liability

I hereby release GRRP, agents of GRRP, and clients from any and all liability for real or perceived physical, mental, or emotional harm incurred before or after, during travel to or from, during breaks of, or during, the hours of service.

In consideration of my participation in any and all events of GRRP, I, for myself, my heirs, executors and administrators, waive and release any and all rights and claims for damages, demands, actions whatsoever in any manner, as a result of participation in any activities/events including travel to and from events.
