TECH CORPS Ohio User's Agreement

As TECH CORPS Ohio volunteers working with children, we must ensure that our behavior and conduct always conforms to the highest standards. To avoid situations that could be considered even remotely inappropriate, we must always exercise good judgment while working with students. It is critical that TECH CORPS Ohio volunteers abide by the following professional and ethical standards document:

1. Schools are legally responsible for their volunteers. Volunteers should acknowledge and sign screening/liability agreements and waivers if provided by the school.

2. Volunteers may not solicit business for their firm or promote their firm in any way.

3. Volunteers cannot accept remuneration in any form.

4. Follow school protocolā€”checking in, wearing a guest badge, having your arrival announced to the teacher, whatever the process may be.

5. Never be alone in a room/setting with a student.

6. Never touch or have physical contact of any kind with a student.

7. Do not use language or actions which could be considered sexist, suggestive, or discriminatory.

8. Discipline is the responsibility of the teacher.

9. Learn the rules for the safe use of the Internet and incorporate them into your program.

10. If you are volunteering with students who are home-schooled, do not go to their homes.

11. Both during and outside of your volunteer experience, do not discuss students, staff or school business that is personal, negative or confidential.

12. Do not socialize with students outside of the classroom context.

On the advice of TECH CORPSā€™ legal counsel the wording in this document is precise. Additionally, all TECH CORPS Ohio Volunteers have agreed to abide by these ethical standards and must sign the agreement stating so.
