Respect children, families, and teachers. Be kind, polite, and patient.
No photos without permission. Always ask before taking photos of children. Never post children's faces or names online without permission from the parent and from Nixon.
No promises of money, gifts, or sponsorship. Please do not promise money, school fees, gifts, or sponsorship to children or families. If you want to help, talk to Nixon first.
No fundraising. Please do not raise funds or ask for donations. Volunteers help with skills and time — cooking, teaching, and playing — not with fundraising.
Work with a teacher or family member present. Never be alone with a child. This protects you and protects the children.
Be on time. Work is 4 hours per day, 5 days a week, usually 8:00am to 12:00pm.
Safety first. Tell us where you are going when you go out. Don't walk alone at night.
