NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: In the course of your work as an Opening Doors volunteer, you may see or hear confidential information, including information regarding the medical, financial, or family situations of women or children in the program. Disclosing this information to anyone other than the Opening Doors staff is not allowed unless the disclosure is required by law.

SUPERVISING CHILDREN: You may not practice corporal punishment. Corporal punishment includes any action that inflicts pain as a way to discipline. (e.g. spanking, slapping, etc). Further, you may not practice any form of discipline that inflicts fear, threats of harm, or threats of discomfort.

TRANSPORTATION POLICY: You may not transport any person in the Opening Doors program without authorization from the Opening Doors staff, a valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and the appropriate car seat/booster seat. If you have any questions regarding the usage of car seats/seatbelts, please contact the Opening Doors staff.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE/CLOTHING: Every volunteer contributes to the organization's overall public image during volunteer hours. Volunteers present a neat appearance with clothing that is clean, in good repair, and suited to the volunteer activity. Avoid clothing with references to alcohol, drugs, sexual innuendo, tobacco, violence, profanity or political sentiment when volunteering.

TRAUMA RESPONSIVE APPROACH: As human beings, we all have had adversity in our lives. At Opening Doors, we recognize that many of the women we serve have experienced adversity and trauma. Science is showing us now more than ever the impact that trauma can have on an individual. Connections and positive relationships are key to helping an individual heal, build resiliency and support their goals. Volunteers contribute to this atmosphere with a calm and positive attitude, focus on understanding over judgement. Trainings on this topic are required for some positions and highly encouraged for others.
