Volunteer Agreement & Waiver
Thanks for your interest in volunteering with AvaCon! We are tremendously grateful to our volunteer team. We simply wouldn’t be able to accomplish all the programs and events that take place every year without the generous donation of time from volunteers like you!
As a condition of volunteering, we need to make sure that you understand and agree to a few things related to your volunteer service, and the purpose of this form is to formalize that understanding. No one should sign a document they don’t understand, so if you have any questions or concerns about the language in this agreement, please don’t hesitate to contact your volunteer coordinator for more information.
Thank you!
