Nonprofits & events
Free volunteer waiver template
Volunteers sign before the shift, from the same email that has the parking instructions.
Nonprofits and churches still need a record that a volunteer understood the work, any physical risk, and photo use if you will post them. Paper packets go missing between the office and the event.
Youth volunteers usually need a parent on the record — pair this waiver with parental consent or add a guardian block. Emergency contacts and a photo-release checkbox belong on the same form when your board expects one packet.
This template is the ConsentForms volunteer waiver. It is not legal advice and does not replace youth-protection or background-check policies.
Send one link in the volunteer onboarding email. You will see who has not signed before the event starts. Will-call can use a QR for day-of signups.
What this form includes
- Volunteer identity
- Assumption of risk language you can edit
- Release of ordinary claims
- E-signature
How to use it
- Copy the volunteer waiver. Put the organization's legal name in the document.
- Paste the link in your volunteer email or print a QR at check-in.
- Export PDFs for the board or insurer when asked.

Questions
Do youth volunteers need a parent signature?
Usually yes. Use the parental consent template or add a guardian block to this waiver.
Can I collect emergency contacts on the same form?
Yes. Add phone and relationship fields in the builder, or ask Jarvis to merge this waiver with your intake sheet.
What about photos of volunteers?
Add a photo-release checkbox or send the photo release template alongside this waiver so posting event photos is covered.
How is this different from an event waiver?
Event waivers target ticketed participants. Volunteer waivers cover unpaid workers and often need emergency contacts and youth rules. Use both when an event has paid guests and volunteer staff.
