VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT

I will make every effort to be present and on time for my tutoring sessions I will encourage and build up my student with positive words. When appropriate, I will communicate with my student’s family in a positive manner I will adhere to the Soar Detroit Plan to Protect whenever applicable. I will respect my student’s privacy by not sharing, publishing or posting personally identifiable information about them without the express permission of Soar Detroit.

An overview of the Soar Detroit COVID-19 safety policy is as follows: Soar Detroit recommends all personnel, mentors, and other representatives use the CDC self-check tool prior to in-person sessions. Do not report to in-person tutoring if you are displaying any unusual occurrences of these symptoms. Soar Detroit personnel, mentors, and other representatives will follow the rules of host site when entering the building and sign-in the office.

I AGREE

PERMISSION TO OBTAIN BACKGROUND CHECK

I understand that Soar Detroit, Sponsor, or other authorized third parties may conduct a background check in connection with my application to volunteer at Soar Detroit. I understand that I will not need to pay for this process. Background checks may include an inquiry into my employment history, education, general character or reputation, work experience, driving history, and criminal history and, depending on the requirements of the Sponsor, may also include fingerprinting at a location designated by the Sponsor and/or require me to divulge specific personal identifying information in order to verify records obtained. I further understand that if I am volunteering through affiliation with a third-party organization, such organizations may have a pre-existing agreement with Soar Detroit for sharing background check results. I understand that Soar Detroit may rely on all or any part of this information in determining whether to extend a volunteer position to me. I understand that the purpose of the background check is to evaluate the suitability of an applicant for volunteering and is not conducted for any other purpose. I understand that the information supplied by me will be used solely for the purposes of obtaining information, validating, or verifying information received, as a part of the background check. I understand that if I choose not to mentor a student after completing the background check, Soar Detroit may ask me to reimburse the organization for the cost of the process, up to $63.00. I, the undersigned applicant for volunteering, have read this Authorization and Release and by providing my holographic or electronic signature below, hereby authorize Soar Detroit, its representatives, agents, and authorized third parties to conduct a background check, as described herein, in conjunction with my application for volunteering and hereby release said parties from any and all liabilities related to the use, procurement or disclosure of any information provided by me or obtained about me in connection with my application for volunteering and a background check that may be performed. I further direct and authorize such third parties who may be the custodians of or may be in possession of requested records or information to disclose such information or records to Soar Detroit or their representatives and agents, in connection with this Authorization and Release. I further understand that by signing this form I am waiving all rights to any subsequent legal action.
