Whether it’s local, traditional, onsite volunteering, or volunteering abroad in another country, or virtual volunteering, risks for volunteers – whatever kind of volunteering – staff and clients must be assessed and considered, and policies and procedures must be developed to appropriately address risks and better ensure everyone’s safety. Otherwise, a nonprofit, non-governmental organization, charity, school, youth group, community of faith, WHATEVER the program, is putting people at risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety isn’t about bureaucracy or red tape. It isn’t about doing only what is required by law. It’s also not about managing programs from a place of fear. It’s about exploring risk honestly and openly, it’s about staying fact-based, it’s about listening and it’s about always being open to questions and discussions about absolutely any subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My blogs and resources regarding safety in volunteering programs include the following, and these link to resources by many other people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
