    Code of Ethics for Volunteers

    1. All volunteers shall make every effort to present the Festival in a positive way and shall not do anything to intentionally embarrass the Festival.

    2. There shall be no use/consumption of alcohol by any volunteer who is on duty on the Festival site.

    3. There shall be no use/consumption of illegal substances by any volunteer on the Festival site. Abuse of this will result in immediate dismissal of the volunteer(s) from the Festival.

    4. All volunteers shall treat other volunteers, performers, staff, and the public with respect. If a problem arises, resolution should be deferred to a Coordinator, Volunteer Committee, or Production Manager.

    5. No volunteer shall use for their own advantage any property or monies belonging to the Festival. All volunteers must be honest and trustworthy.

    6. Any volunteer in the positions of Crew Coordinator or Assistant Coordinator must set a positive example for other volunteers. They must be prepared to respond to greater expectations, take on responsibility, and follow through on commitments. Failure to fulfill commitments will result in replacement of the Coordinator for the next Festival.

     

    Minor Volunteers (ages 12 -17)

    1. It is Festival policy that all volunteers between the ages of 12 and 17 must be children of an active volunteer or be sponsored by an active adult volunteer who will take responsibility for them. The festival reserves the right to determine who will be acceptable as responsible adults. The parent or responsible adult must sign the consent form below, before a minor is formally assigned to a crew.

    2. All youth volunteers will be expected to fulfill their duties in order to receive volunteer benefits. They will also be expected to conduct themselves appropriately.

    3. Volunteers between the ages of 12 and 15 will be placed to the best of the volunteer coordinator's ability, but there are limited spaces available and there are no guarantees of having volunteers placed. Volunteers under the age of 16 will not be assigned to handle cash.

    4. FOR ALL TEAMS of the festival—no children under the age of 12 are to accompany any volunteer on shift. Parents must arrange for child care.

    5.  An adult who is responsible for the child's behavior must accompany children 12 and up.

    6. Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Atlanta Food Festival! We are currently accepting applications for the 2014 Festival. We will start making volunteer selections in May. We will contact you if we decide to honor your request to serve.
