IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, PLEASE HAVE YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN TYPE THEIR SIGNATURE IN THE FIELD BELOW.  THE WAIVER MUST BE SIGNED AND SUBMITTED TO THE VOLUNTEER OFFICE BEFORE YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO REGISTER FOR EVENTS AND PARTICIPATE IN VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES.

 

This Assumption of Risk, Waiver of Liability and COVID-19 Agreement (the “Agreement”) executed today by myself (“Volunteer”) releases Prospect Park Alliance, Inc. (“Alliance”), a nonprofit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents from liability for any injuries I or my child (if applicable) may sustain while engaged as volunteers. 

  1. By signing this Agreement, I am acknowledging my interest in participating and providing volunteer services for various volunteer programs and activities operated by the Alliance.
  2. I understand that the scope of the relationship with the Alliance is limited to a volunteer position and that no compensation is expected in return for services that are provided; that the Alliance will not provide any benefits traditionally associated with employment; and that I am responsible for my own insurance coverage in the event of personal injury or illness as a result of the services provided to the Alliance. I expressly waive any such claim for compensation or liability on the part of the Alliance beyond what may be offered freely by the Alliance in the event of injury or medical expenses incurred by me.
  3. As a result of the COVID-19 public health crisis, the Alliance has put into place a number of measures to ensure the safety and health of its staff, the public and individuals seeking to volunteer with the Alliance as well as to help control the spread of COVID-19.  By agreeing to become a volunteer for the Alliance, I make the following representations and additionally agree to follow the suggested guidance of the Center of Disease Control (CDC) and local public health authority and the Alliance’s policies and procedures to reduce the spread of Novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19 as follows: 
    1. I agree that I or my child, if applicable, will only attend a volunteer event if we are not experiencing symptoms of illness associated with COVID-19 (i.e. shortness of breath, fever, cough, etc. ).
    2. I agree to inform the Alliance if I or my child have been diagnosed with COVID-19 within 10 days after volunteering with the Alliance.
    3. I agree if I or my child has tested positive for COVID-19, that we will not resume volunteering for at least 5 consecutive days after such confirmation and I or my child may be required to wear a securely fitted face covering (mask) while engaged in volunteer events for 5 days after resuming activities.
    4. I understand that as of March 15, 2023, Proof of Vaccination for COVID-19 is no longer required for volunteers. I further understand that the CDC has stated that vaccination is an effective tool to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and benefits both vaccine recipients and those they come into contact with, including persons who for reasons of age, health, or other conditions cannot themselves be vaccinated. 
    5. I understand that face coverings (masks) are not required in order to engage in volunteer activities, but may be worn by individuals at their discretion. I further understand Supervisors will accommodate volunteers who wish to practice social distance. 
    6. I understand all health information will be kept confidential by Alliance staff and/or authorized Park Staff Volunteer Leaders.



  1. Assumption of Risk, Waiver and Release. I understand that the Alliance is not responsible for any potential exposure to Novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19.  I also understand that my volunteer activities with the Alliance may include activities that could be hazardous to me, including but not limited to packing loading, unloading and carrying heavy items, transportation to and from work sites, and exposure to people with infectious diseases.  I fully understand and appreciate the risks that are inherent to my volunteer activities.  I hereby assume the risk of bodily injury, property damage, illness, medical treatment and/or death resulting from my volunteer activities, even if resulting from negligence on the part of the Alliance or its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, or agents. 

I additionally agree to release and forever discharge and hold harmless the Alliance, its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, successors and assigns from any and all liability, claims, and demands of whatever kind of nature, either in law or in equity, which arise or may hereafter arise from the services I, or my child (if applicable) provide to the Alliance. I understand and acknowledge that this Agreement discharges the Alliance from any liability or claim that I may have against the Alliance with respect to bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, or property damage that may result from the services I provide to the Alliance or occurring while I, or my child (if applicable), are providing volunteer services. 

 

  1. Medical Treatment: I hereby release and forever discharge the Alliance from any claim whatsoever which arises or may hereafter arise on account of any first-aid treatment or other medical services rendered in connection with an emergency during my/our tenure as a volunteer with the Alliance.

 

  1. Photographic Release: I grant and convey to the Alliance all right, title, and interests in any and all photographs, images, video, or audio recordings of me, or my child (if applicable), or my likeness or voice made by the Alliance in connection with my providing volunteer services to the Alliance.

 

  1. Other: As a volunteer, I expressly agree that this Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of New York and that this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. I agree that in the event that any clause or provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected. 

 

I express my understanding and intent to enter into this Assumption of Risk, Waiver of Liability and COVID-19 Agreement willingly and voluntarily. I also understand that failure to comply with any of the Alliance’s written or verbal policies, procedures or guidelines may result in my volunteer services being terminated.
