Volunteering

Whether you give your time and energy to support a worthy cause, or you work for an organization that uses volunteers, you may not be aware of the related legal issues. Some types of volunteer positions may involve legal responsibilities. Organizations have a duty of care to their volunteers, and also some accountability for the actions of their volunteers.
