Background Check Consent

I give my permission to Iowa Farm Sanctuary to verify any information given and
complete a criminal background check. I understand that this application does not guarantee acceptance into the Sanctuary’s volunteer program.
Release of Liability to Volunteer Signature
*
All volunteers who participate in any operations and activity at Iowa Farm Sanctuary must sign acknowledging this agreement and policy for the purpose of safety and organization requirements.
By volunteering for Iowa Farm Sanctuary in any activity or service, I acknowledge and carry my own insurance for any possible injury or accident of any kind to myself.
I understand that to volunteer at IFS, I must abide by all safety procedures and complete the organization’s orientation. To volunteer at IFS, I must complete all required orientations, safety trainings, and any other required training by an IFS representative, officially obtaining a training certificate, as well as sign this acknowledgement before I am able to volunteer for IFS.
As a volunteer, I acknowledge I volunteer on my own free will, and no one has required me to use my personal time, vehicle, other property, or money in this arrangement. I am donating my time, possible resources, ideas/ intellectual property, and possible labor as a volunteer to the Iowa Farm Sanctuary and therefore, release IFS entirely from any liability while on duty as a volunteer.
As a volunteer, I have been trained in the organization’s policies and procedures and have had the opportunity to ask questions and furthermore, I know where to locate the organizations policies and procedures.
I further understand I am not allowed to volunteer at IFS until an IFS representative such as a Director, Board Member or Staff has reviewed this policy with me and I have signed with that representative this acknowledgement.
I acknowledge I have had the opportunity to obtain a copy of this acknowledgement form and I understand it will be stored in IFS volunteer and/or roster profile/records.
I understand that I am to disclose pertinent health related information that may limit any tasks or activity that may be asked of me while on duty as a volunteer at IFS. I acknowledge that as a volunteer, I have the right to decline any tasks that may compromise my health. I understand that in order for the organization to allow me to volunteer, I must disclose any health concerns or conditions, offering volunteer services that are not only beneficial to the organization and the residents, but will not compromise my health and wellness.
In exchange for this unconditional waiver, IFS will provide me adequate training, a safe environment, and an accessible IFS representative who can answer any of my questions at any time.
I understand by clicking "Yes", I release IFS of all liability of any kind.
