Volunteer Code of Conduct

Habitat for Humanity Edmonton volunteers are expected to conduct themselves and the work they perform on behalf of HFHE in a manner that honours HFHE’s reputation and does not detract from the public’s trust and confidence in HFHE. Accordingly, all volunteers must agree and comply with the Code of Conduct described below.

As a volunteer, I will:
1. Conduct myself with integrity, honesty, and openness and in accordance with all governing laws.

3. Fulfil my volunteer commitment to the best of my ability, and notify HFHE if I am unable to attend as scheduled.
4. Work in a cooperative and respectful manner and refrain from using language or behaviours that are profane, insulting, harassing, or otherwise offensive.
5. Avoid any actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest. A conflict of interest occurs, or may occur, in any situation where you may have, a personal or professional interest different from the interests of HFHE. I will adhere to HFHE’s Conflict of Interest Policy.
6. Model behavior that respects the human rights of all people. I will treat everyone with equity and dignity without regard to an individual’s gender, race, ancestry, colour, creed, ancestry, place of origin, political beliefs, religious belief, marital status, family status, disability, age, sexual orientation gender identity, gender expression, economic status or any other prohibited ground of discrimination under Human Rights legislation.
7. Respect and adhere to the health and safety policies, safe work practices, PPE requirements, and procedures of Habitat for Humanity Edmonton.
8. Respect and maintain the confidentiality of information gained in my capacity as an HFHE volunteer. Information and other documents relating to partner families, other volunteers, staff and donors are in their nature, private and confidential and all volunteers must exercise care and caution to protect and secure confidentiality.
9. Refrain from possession, consumption or use of alcoholic beverages, cannabis, or illegal substances while on Habitat for Humanity Edmonton premises.
10. Never engage in affecting any form of workplace discrimination or harassment and will immediately report such behaviors to my supervisor, if I encounter it.

I have read, understand and agree to commit to uphold and comply with this code of conduct and understand that adherence to this code is a condition of my volunteer role and a violation of this code may be grounds for immediate termination as a volunteer.

Volunteer Rules and Guidelines

1. Mandatory Safety Orientations – Your safety is our first concern; therefore, every ReStore conducts a mandatory safety orientation. Please be punctual! ***Our safety program prohibits individuals who miss safety orientation from volunteering that day***

We do not recommend the ReStores for people with back problems.
5. Reporting Injuries and Incidents – Each volunteer must take reasonable care to work safely on their own and with other workers present, and to cooperate with Habitat Edmonton when it comes to workplace health and safety. All injuries and incidents must be reported to a Habitat staff member immediately.
