Volunteers’ Code of Conduct
The Volunteer Code of Conduct aims to ensure that all volunteers understand the standard of conduct required. Volunteers are expected to uphold the Code of Conduct at all times when carrying out their duties and responsibilities mentioned in the “Simple Ways to Become an AFS Volunteer”.
This document must be discussed during the Chapter Meeting in detail (in the local language or English) so that volunteers are aware of the same. The same should be minuted in the chapter meeting's report as well. It's requested to the Presidents / Vice-Presidents to share the same with the registered volunteers in their chapter. Once volunteers read the Volunteers' Code of Conduct and Simple Ways, they are requested to sign the paper with all relevant details.
(No digital signature. The assigned volunteers in each chapter will compile all the signed sheets and send them to the National Office (by courier or by e-mail). Hard copies are required to be sent to the National Office. Please don't send individual copies.)
Should you have any queries, please reach out to Aadil Fahim at aadil.fahim@afs.org or call at +91-9971-148-406
