We comply with the Federal Volunteer Protection Act and related state statutes to provide legal protection to good-faith volunteers acting within the scope of approved activities.

  • Community-identified needs

  • Volunteer availability

  • Resource limitations

  • Safety and logistical feasibility

 

We make no guarantee that your request will be fulfilled in whole or in part.

​

All participants are expected to abide by our Core Values, including:

  • Acting with integrity, transparency, and kindness

  • Rejecting discrimination, harassment, or ego-driven behavior

  • Respecting the dignity, privacy, and safety of others

 

We reserve the right to remove or disassociate from any individual or group whose actions conflict with these standards, especially in cases of manipulation, exploitation, or repeated harm.

 

5. Use of Information and Privacy

By submitting your request or participating as a volunteer, you consent to the use of:

  • Basic information for coordination and internal recordkeeping

  • Photos or testimonials (with your verbal or written consent only)

  • Non-identifiable data for reporting, storytelling, or impact documentation

We never sell personal data or share sensitive information without permission.

 

6. Intellectual Property

 

The Core of Volunteers name, logo, and materials are protected. They may only be used with written permission for aligned and ethical purposes. Unauthorized use, misrepresentation, or distortion of our brand will result in immediate disassociation and possible legal action.

​

If any concerns arise regarding our operations or behavior of those within our network, we offer:

  • A direct contact method to leadership

  • A peer review model for ethical complaints

  • Restorative and transparent conflict resolution, whenever possible

​

We resolve disputes based on shared values and good faith, not legal threats or intimidation.

 
8. Modification of Terms

 

These Terms and Conditions may be updated periodically. The most recent version will always be available on our website. Your continued participation implies agreement with the current version.

​
9. Final Statement

​

We exist to serve — not to profit, dominate, or deceive.
But in a world where trust is fragile, we take our role seriously.
These terms are not just legal protection — they are a reflection of the sacred trust between us, the people we serve, and the mission we share.
