Policies and Procedures Template
CCVI - Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement Policies and procedures Template
The template provided is a way to help you organize yourself when developing policies and procedures for your organization's volunteer program. Remember:
- Your can customize the template to suit your volunteer program.
- Policies and procedures need to reflect the reality of your organization.
- Volunteer program policies should be congruent with any existing policies and procedures within your organization, as well as your organizations Human Resources policies.
- Leave the policy in and make a note that it is not relevant at this time (this is recommended); or
- Take out the policy and record it elsewhere for future reference.
The template in itself is a risk management tool that your organization can use to assist you in managing risk within your volunteer program and your organization.
