Frequently asked questions

Should staff and volunteers share the same code of conduct?+

A single, shared Code keeps expectations consistent for everyone who represents your organization. This template is written for both staff and volunteers, and the acknowledgment lets each person note their role when they sign.

How is a code of conduct different from an anti-harassment policy?+

The Code of Conduct is the umbrella standard that summarizes expectations like respect, confidentiality, and conflicts of interest. Detailed procedures live in the dedicated policies it points to, such as the Anti-Harassment & Non-Discrimination Policy.

Do people need to sign the code every year?+

Many nonprofits collect a signed acknowledgment when someone joins and again each year. The included acknowledgment page makes that easy to administer and document.
