VOLUNTEER WAIVER
The following release information is required for volunteer insurance and recognition purposes. For and in consideration of my participation in the Green Seattle Partnership volunteer program and the Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association Urban Forest Restoration Program ("DNDA"), a voluntary, public/private cooperative program (the “Program”), I release, acquit, and forever discharge the City of Seattle, a municipal corporation, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers, and associated non-profit organizations, including DNDA, their officers, agents, employees, and volunteers (collectively, the “Released Parties), from any and all claims, demands, damages, costs, action, or liability, on account of, or in any way growing out of, any and all known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen bodily injuries or death, or damage to property resulting from or by reason of my participation in, or transportation to or from, any activity, work, or work site in any way related to the Program. I accept and assume all risks, and assume all responsibility for the losses, costs and/or damages following an injury I (or my child/ward) suffer in the course of my participation in the Program, including disability, paralysis or death, even if caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the Released Parties. I understand that the City of Seattle provides medical insurance coverage for bodily injury incurred while I volunteer, and that the medical insurance coverage is secondary to any other insurance I have. I approve of emergency care for myself (or my ward/child) under the direction of the event leader or consulting doctor, if I am unable to approve it myself, including emergency or ambulance transportation and the administration of drugs, tests, anesthesia and blood transfusions to the below-named minor when a physician or dentist at the treating medical facility deems those procedures necessary for emergency treatment. I, as the undersigned, give permission to be photographed and/or filmed and have my image used by the Green Seattle Partnership or DNDA. 

YOU MUST ACCEPT THE TERMS OF LIABILITY IN ORDER TO REGISTER FOR A VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY.



SUPPLEMENTAL YOUTH WAIVER

Longfellow Creek Stewards

Join DNDA and Duwamish Alive! Coalition as part of our Longfellow Creek Stewardship Program! This community-based initiative provides volunteers with the opportunity to do hands-on water quality monitoring at six locations in Longfellow Creek.

Volunteers monitor once per month throughout the year, measuring temperature, pH, turbidity, and more. This data is invaluable for detecting pollution, evaluating the restoration efforts of organizations like DNDA, and empowering the community to learn about and advocate for their local urban creek.
