Volunteer Health Questionnaire / Policy Form

As a volunteer for the Hope Center in Lexington, KY, I hereby acknowledge that said organization is doing everything they can to protect the public as well myself as a volunteer from COVID-19. To this extent, I agree to follow Center of Disease Control (CDC) and local health department guidelines, along with the Hope Center’s policies and procedures for social distancing to reduce the spread of COVID-19. I understand that all volunteers must have either received both doses of a Covid vaccine, and are 2 weeks post-vaccination, or have had Covid within the past 90 days and are safely out of quarantine. Volunteers will also be required to maintain six (6) feet of distance between myself, fellow volunteers, and Hope Center clients as much as possible. In addition, I agree to wear a mask to reduce the risk of exposure to myself and others while inside any Hope Center facilities. I agree to wash or sanitize my hands after using the restroom, sneezing, coughing, and before eating or preparing/serving meals, and will properly wear and utilize sterile gloves while serving food.  I will leave the Hope Center facilities if I begin to feel ill or experience COVID-19 symptoms, including cough, fever, or shortness of breath. I understand that I am volunteering in a higher-risk, residential setting, in which the COVID-19 virus can spread quickly. I agree to take all necessary precautions and adhere to Hope Center policies, and I understand that Hope Center staff members may ask volunteers to leave at any time, if they feel that the safety of clients and staff is at risk.
