We are committed to providing equal opportunity for all Volunteer positions without regard to age, race, color, sex, religion, national origin, marital status, pregnancy, veteran status, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation, AIDS/HIV, Sickle cell trait, citizenship status, genetic information, disability or any other protected status in accordance with the requirements of all federal, state and local laws.

To avoid any possible interference with the therapeutic process and/or criminal case prosecution, GCKH will decline to engage prospective volunteers (and their immediate family members) who have been involved with any investigation opened at GCKH or our partner agencies within the past 24 months. Thank you for your consideration.


Your tax-deductible donation of $50 will help us offset the cost of the Level 2 Background Screening that is required to be a Volunteer.

Volunteer Agreement

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. Please read and accept the volunteer agreement below.

As a Volunteer I agree:

  • To read the Volunteer Manual (provided during training).
  • To notify GCKH at least 24 hours before I am unable to work my scheduled shift.
  • To notify GCHK at least 2 weeks prior to separation from GCKH.
  • To be courteous and professional. (Volunteers represent GCKH to our families and the public. If you have a problem or concern, be sure to discuss it with the Executive Director.)
  • To respect the privacy of each visitor/donor/family by keeping their information (personal & business) confidential.
  • GCKH families and guests are never to be transported in personal vehicles and I will not open my home to GCKH guests or families as a place to stay.
  • To seek the assistance of staff on duty in any situation requiring special guidance.
  • To refer all media inquiries to the Executive Director for comments.
  • To withhold personal medication from family members, staff or other volunteers. (I understand it could negate the GCKH insurance policy and make the House liable for adverse reactions).

Hold Harmless Agreement

  • Whereas, GCKH is non-profit corporation incorporated under the laws of Florida;
  • Whereas, GCKH provides a facility for families with alleged child maltreatment;

Now therefore, in consideration of being permitted to become a GCKH volunteer, Volunteer hereby agrees that their services shall be undertaken by Volunteer at their own risk and responsibility, and the GCKH shall not be liable to Volunteer for any claims, demands, injuries, damages, actions or causes of action which may arise from Volunteer’s volunteer services whether said claims, demands, injuries, damages, actions or causes of action arise from negligence or otherwise, on the part of GCKH, its employees, agents, other volunteers, or third parties.

Conflict of Interest Disclosure and Confidentiality Statement

During the time that I serve as a volunteer /professional within Gulf Coast Kid’s House, I realize that I will gain access to information that is considered to be confidential and/or proprietary. Such information relates to families, donors, strategic planning and initiatives, submitted proposals, criteria or decisions made with regard to the business of Gulf Coast Kid’s House.

Since confidential and proprietary information is crucial to the operation of the Organization, and because GCKH has the obligation to protect such information, I agree that I will not use, publish or disclose such information during or subsequent to my time employment/involvement, and that I will preserve the restricted nature of this information except to the extent that it becomes publicly available, or is otherwise lawfully obtained outside the scope of this agreement from third parties.

Confidential information includes but is not limited to:

  1. Case information about the children and families GCKH serves.
  2. Client records, tapes (video/audio) and team’s decision made relative to specific cases.
  3. Donor information
  4. Volunteer Background Checks.

By signing this Confidentiality Acknowledgement, you acknowledge that:

  1. I am obligated to hold confidential information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose the information to any person or in any manner, which is inconsistent with applicable policies and procedures of GCKH.
  2. Your confidentiality obligation shall continue indefinitely, including at all times after your association w/GCKH.
  3. Impermissible disclosure of confidential information about a person may result in legal actions being taken against you, by or on behalf of that person.
  4. I will not duplicate any material without express written permission from GCKH or the author of the material.

Additionally, as a volunteer/professional, I realize that I have an obligation to disclose and eliminate (if necessary) any potential or actual duality of interest or conflict of interest.

Below, I have listed all community organizations, non-profit corporations or charitable programs that I, or a member of my immediate family have a relationship with, that have sought or may in the future seek to do business with GCKH. The term “relationship” means any relation with a person or organization, whether financial (such as a significant donation of more than $100), employment (such as a volunteer assignment, part-time job or as a consultant or independent contractor) or fiduciary (such as a board member or officer). The term “immediate family” means spouse, parent, children or other individual living in the same household.

I hereby certify that I have read, understand and agree to the Gulf Coast Kid’s House policies as described in this statement, with respect to confidential information and conflict of interest, and that the information given in this statement is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
