Please read the following; you will be asked to sign when you come in for an interview:

I have read the Statement of Policy and Standards for Volunteer Applicants of Contact, including Standards set by Contact. I am aware of your work and objectives, and if accepted as a volunteer wil adhere to your policies. I understand that this is an application for training only. Evaluation at the completion of training will determine whether or not I will be accepted into volunteer service. I am willing to commit my services for a minimum of eight (8) hours a month.

We have found that people who have suffered a traumatic event need about a year to recover and participation in training is optimal after that period. Decisions may be reached on an individual basis.

I hereby certify that the foregoing statements are true and correct. I understand that Contact may consider any false statement on this application cause for rejection of this application and subsequent dismissal.
