- Be careful, wear shoes, dress appropriately for your task, and alert a staff member if you see an unsafe situation.
- Volunteering at Free Geek sometimes requires heavy lifting. Ask for help if you need it. Also, be aware that most of the time, if you can't do heavy lifting, this fact doesn't necessarily bar you from the task.
- If your back or ankle or anything else starts hurting while you're volunteering, let us know and we'll have you do a different task.
- If you need any special consideration at all, let a staff member know so that we can work with you and help you get the most from your volunteer term.
- Take breaks when you need them! In general, please feel free to take a minute here or there to relax. If you are going to be volunteering for 8 hours please take 30 minutes to hang out and eat some lunch; we will allow you to log 8 hours of volunteer time for this.
- Free Geek is a safe, respectful place. We don't allow harassment, violence, theft, arson, or other destructive behaviors here. Help keep our organization fun and inviting for all!
