Code of Ethics for Volunteers

InterAmerican Workshop Inc. is so fortunate to work with hundreds of volunteers each year.  Volunteers are from different countries, different professions, and different lifestyles, but all share the IAW mission.

We ask all volunteers to read and follow the IAW Code of Ethics.

InterAmerican Workshop Volunteer Code of Ethics

As a volunteer, I realize that I am subject to a code of ethics:

I promise to take to my volunteer work an attitude of open mindedness; to be willing to be trained if necessary; to bring to it interest and attention.

I plan to find out how I can best serve the activity for which I have volunteered and to offer as much as I am sure I can give, but no more.

I assume certain responsibilities and expect to account for what I do.

I will keep confidential matters confidential.

I realize that I must live up to my promises.

I believe that my attitude toward volunteer work should be professional.

I have an obligation to my volunteer work, to those who direct it, to my colleagues and to the public.

Being eager to contribute all that I can to human betterment, I accept this Code of Ethics for the Volunteer as my code to be followed faithfully, carefully and cheerfully.
