Thank you for volunteering your time and talent to Grand Valley State University in support of its important mission of educating and shaping the lives of our students.

A University volunteer is an individual who performs work or provides services in support of University activities without the expectation of compensation. Volunteers may perform a variety of services, however the University does not intend for volunteers to perform or displace work that is presently being performed by University employees.

Volunteers acting on behalf of the University are expected to adhere to all University Policies.

Volunteers are not considered employees and are not covered by workers' compensation disability benefits. Therefore volunteers are personally responsible for the expense of any medical care received for injuries incurred because of volunteer service to the University. Volunteers are not eligible for unemployment benefits.

If your assignment involves minor children, confidential information, or money you will be required to pass a criminal background check before your assignment begins. If your assignment requires you to operate a vehicle owned or leased by the University, you will need to present your valid driver's license to the Department of Public Safety for an MVR-review and institutional driving authorization.

Disclosure of Risks

The University endeavors to provide a safe environment for volunteers, adhering to the same standards it has for its employees. However, any activity may include dangers and risks to which you may be exposed as a volunteer.

I know that as a Volunteer, I am personally responsible for the expense of any medical care related to injuries or illnesses that I incur while volunteering at the University.

I, therefore, freely and voluntarily agree to assume and take on myself all of the risks and responsibilities in any way associated with this activity. I release Grand Valley State University, its Board of Trustees, employees, and agents from all liability, claims, and actions that may arise from injury or harm to me, from my death, or from damage to my property in connection with this activity. I understand that this Release covers liability, claims, and actions caused entirely or in part by any acts or failures to act of Grand Valley State University, or any of its employees or agents, including but not limited to negligence, mistake, or failure to supervise. I understand that this Release does not apply to instances of intentional misconduct by a University employee or agent.

These releases are effective for me, my personal representative, assigns, and heirs.
