The Volunteer Agreement For Nonprofit is an essential document for Irish nonprofit organizations engaging volunteers in their operations. It serves as a formal yet non-binding agreement that clearly defines the relationship between the organization and volunteer while explicitly stating the non-employment nature of the arrangement. This document is particularly important in the Irish legal context, where it helps organizations comply with various regulations including the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, GDPR, and specific nonprofit sector requirements. The agreement should be used whenever a nonprofit organization in Ireland takes on new volunteers, especially for regular or long-term volunteering commitments. It provides clarity on roles, responsibilities, training, support, and insurance coverage, while protecting both parties' interests and establishing clear expectations for the voluntary engagement.
