The Volunteer Contract Agreement serves as a crucial legal framework for organizations in Canada engaging volunteers across various sectors. This document is essential when establishing formal volunteer relationships and should be used whenever an organization brings on new volunteers for any significant or ongoing role. The agreement ensures clarity of expectations, protects both parties' interests, and maintains compliance with Canadian federal and provincial regulations. It includes provisions for volunteer duties, supervision, confidentiality, health and safety, and liability protection, while explicitly stating the non-employment nature of the relationship. The document can be customized based on the organization's specific needs, the nature of volunteer work, and provincial requirements, making it suitable for both short-term and long-term volunteer engagements.
