1. Parties
This Volunteer Waiver and Release of Liability (“Agreement”) is entered into between Project Helping, a Colorado nonprofit organization (“Organization”), its partner organizations that utilize the Kynd Hub event management platform (“Partner Organizations”), and you, the individual completing this digital acknowledgment (“Volunteer”).
2. Description of Volunteer Activities
Volunteer activities may include, but are not limited to: general community service, physical and outdoor activities, activities involving vulnerable populations (including seniors, individuals experiencing homelessness, individuals with disabilities, and youth), and any other activities organized or facilitated by Project Helping or its Partner Organizations through the Kynd Hub platform.
3. Assumption of Risk
I acknowledge and understand that volunteer activities may involve inherent risks, including but not limited to: physical injury, illness, exposure to communicable diseases, accidents, property damage, and risks associated with working with vulnerable populations. I voluntarily assume all such risks, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen.
4. Release & Waiver of Liability
In consideration of being permitted to participate in volunteer activities, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Project Helping, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and volunteers, as well as any Partner Organizations utilizing the Kynd Hub event management platform, their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, “Released Parties”), from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, injury, or death that may be sustained by me while participating in volunteer activities, whether caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law.
5. Indemnification
I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities arising out of my participation in volunteer activities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent caused by my own negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement.
6. Partner Organizations & Kynd Hub Platform
I understand that some volunteer events may be organized or managed by Partner Organizations that utilize the Kynd Hub event management platform. This Agreement covers all such events and activities, regardless of whether they are organized directly by Project Helping or by a Partner Organization through Kynd Hub. The Released Parties include all such Partner Organizations.

I represent that I am in adequate physical and mental health to participate in volunteer activities. In the event of a medical emergency, I authorize Project Helping or its Partner Organizations to seek emergency medical treatment on my behalf, and I agree to be responsible for any costs incurred.
9. Background Check Consent
For activities involving vulnerable populations, I consent to a background check being conducted by Project Helping or its Partner Organizations as a condition of my participation. I understand that the results may affect my eligibility to volunteer in certain capacities.
10. Code of Conduct
I agree to conduct myself in a professional, respectful, and safe manner at all times. I understand that Project Helping or any Partner Organization reserves the right to dismiss me from a volunteer event for failure to comply with established conduct standards.
