Thank you for your willingness to volunteer for the City of Woodburn. The City of Woodburn (the “City”) is committed to conducting its programs, services, and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of City volunteers in high regard. However, volunteers and parents/guardians of minor volunteers must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to volunteer. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or adequately skilled to perform the volunteer activities.
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING
By signing and submitting the volunteer application you recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to volunteers providing and/or engaging in volunteer activities for the City, I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, death, damages, or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said volunteer activities. I further agree to waive and release all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of or related to the volunteer activities, against the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and/or other volunteers, collectively or individually.
I further declare that I am aware of the activity contemplated and the hazards connected therewith; understand that I may be a passenger in vehicles operated by City employees; and understand that I will be a guest and not a passenger for hire or other consideration. I further authorize the person in charge to secure any necessary emergency medical services in the event that such are necessary and I am unable to make conscious and competent decision as to my need thereof. I further agree to pay for such services and to save the City and its employees harmless therefrom.
