Volunteer Policies

Non-Discrimination

TCVLS is committed to ensuring equal opportunity and equal justice for all, regardless of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, disability, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, age, veteran status, marital status, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law. This policy includes all (current or prospective) clients, volunteers, staff, and board members. If you experience or witness conduct you feel is discriminatory, please be sure to raise the matter for discussion and review so that TCVLS can investigate and take appropriate action.

Sexual Harassment

TCVLS strictly prohibits sexual harassment. TCVLS does not tolerate harassment of volunteers, clients, staff, or board members. Sexual harassment may be difficult to recognize. It can consist of sexual favoritism, unwanted verbal or sexual advances, or sexually explicit remarks. If you experience or witness conduct you feel is sexual harassment, please be sure to raise the matter for discussion and review so that TCVLS can investigate and take appropriate action. If you ever feel unsafe while volunteering, please inform TCVLS staff immediately.
