Authorization and Release
All applicants must read and agree below. I agree not to publish or disclose to anyone outside of SMART any confidential or business information or material from SMART, either before, during, or after employment with SMART, except with SMART’s written permission.
I agree to conform to the instructions, rules, and policies outlined in the SMART Volunteer Policy & Procedure Guide and my position description. I understand that either the volunteer or the organization may at any time, for whatever reason, discontinue the volunteer service relationship.
I understand that as part of the volunteer application process, SMART and the entities it serves (Host Sites) may conduct a background check which could include a criminal background check on me. I hereby authorize SMART and any of its Host Sites to conduct a criminal background check on me and to communicate the results of the criminal background check to SMART. I understand that the criminal background check may be conducted by any one or more methods, including without limitation, using government and private databases and services. I understand that a criminal background check may be undertaken at any time, and may be repeated from time-to-time, while I am associated with SMART.
I hereby release and hold harmless SMART, its Host Sites and their respective employees and agents from any and all liability whatsoever arising from or relating in any way to: any person or entity conducting the criminal background check; the disclosure of information resulting from the criminal background check; and any action which may be taken by any individual or entity based upon that information.
I understand that a misdemeanor will not necessarily bar me from serving as a SMART volunteer, but it will be reported to the school principal or Host Site for volunteer authorization. I understand that a felony conviction will prohibit my participation as a SMART volunteer. |
