Code of Conduct
It begins with me!
At The Volunteer Switchboard, preserving our strong culture is a top priority. We must continue to embrace the values of integrity, fairness and accountability in all that we do. Doing the right thing forms the foundation for how we serve our community, and our Code of Conduct represents our shared commitment to operate with the highest level of ethical conduct.
Every volunteer and organiser at The Volunteer Switchboard has a responsibility to follow the spirit of the Code and its related policies. We will not compromise on our integrity, nor will we tolerate unethical behavior. Be accountable for your actions, as ultimately, we rely on your personal integrity to protect and safeguard the interests of the communities that we serve.
Above all, never underestimate the importance of your own conduct. Our collective success starts with every one of us!
