lee 8 Terrace Review — Wednesday January 7,1 ‘ yo The Thombhill Junior High School's girls’ basketbal] team plans on seeing lots of action this season. Code for voluteers Asa volunteer, I realize that I am subject to a code of ethics similar to that which binds professionals in their fields. I, like them, assume certain respon- sibilities and expect to account for what I do. I will keep confidential matters confidential. _[ interpret volunteer to mean that I have agreed to work without compensation in money, but having been accepted as a worker, I expect to do my work according to standards, as the paid staff expects to do their work. I promise to take to my work an attitude of open- mindedness: to bring it interest and attention, and if necessary, be willing to be trained for it. I believe that my attitude towards volunteer work should be professional. I believe that I have an obligation to my work, to those who direct it, to my colleagues, to those for whom it is done, and to the public. Being eager to contribute all that I can to human betterment, I accept this code for the volunteer as my code, to be followed cheerfully and carefully. A Bill of Rights for Volunteers @ The right to be treated as a co-worker, not as ‘ust free help’’: Not as a ‘prima donna’’. @ The right to a suitable assignment, with considera- tion for personal preference, temperament, life ex- perience, education background. @ The right to know as much about the organization as possible, its policies, its people. @ The right to training for the job — thoughtfully — planned and effectively presented. —— eo @ The right to continuing education, follow-up to the initial training, information . about new developments, training for greater responsibility. - @ The right to sound guidance and direction — by someone who is experienced, well informed, patient and thoughtful. ; @ The right to be heard — to have a part in plann- ing, to feel free to make stiggestions, to have respect shown for an honest opinion. . There’s a Heaven for Volunteers Many will be shocked to find when the ‘day of judgement nears, that there is a special place in heaven set aside for . volunteers, Furnished with big recliners, satin couches and footstools, . where there’s no committee chairman, no group leaders or car pools. No eager team that needs a coach, rio bazaar and no bake sale; there will be nothing to staple, not one thing to fold or mail. | Telephone lists will be outlawed but a finger snap will bring cool drinks and gourmet dinners and rare treats fit for a king. You ask — who will serve these privileged few and work for all they’re worth? ; Why, all those who reaped the benefits and not once volunteered for earth. i — Author unknown cent mini-tournament in Thornhill.
