Rules
1. Respect & Inclusion
Volunteers must respect the dignity of refugees and host community members.
Cultural sensitivity is essential—listen, learn, and avoid imposing outside ideas.
2. Transparency in Fundraising
All fundraising activities (online campaigns, crowd‑funding, donor outreach) must be coordinated with CAPS leadership.
Funds raised are directed to CAPS accounts only; volunteers cannot handle money personally.
Volunteers must provide regular updates on progress and share campaign links openly with CAPS staff.
3. Ethical Communication
Messaging must be truthful, avoiding exaggeration or misrepresentation of community needs.
Volunteers should highlight impact stories with consent from beneficiaries.
4. Collaboration & Accountability
Volunteers work alongside CAPS staff, not independently.
Weekly check‑ins with the CAPS team are required to align strategies and measure outcomes.
5. Professional Conduct
Volunteers are expected to maintain professionalism in online and offline interactions.
Respect deadlines, follow instructions, and communicate challenges promptly.
6. Safety & Well‑Being
Volunteers are treated as part of the CAPS family—welcomed, supported, and cared for.
CAPS ensures a safe environment, but volunteers must also respect local rules and security protocols.
