A volunteer waiver helps an organization limit its legal liability in the event that a volunteer is hurt while they are spending unpaid time helping the organization. Volunteer waivers are signed by the volunteers and should be kept on file.
A volunteer waiver is signed by a volunteer and protects the organization from claims of liability for injuries or other issues that arise during the time that the person volunteers with the organization. It helps protect the organization from expensive legal claims. Like other forms of waivers, a volunteer waiver will not necessarily protect an organization from all legal claims, but it does help limit legal liability.
