Guidelines:
Be very clear as to what you are
willing to do.
You make your own volunteer rules,
and you can always choose to stray outside your
boundaries as you work with requesters. Do as little or
as much as you choose.
If there is a charge for your
service, you
must state that for the requester. Requesters should not have
"surprises" in this area. Parking fees, public transportation, copying
costs, or the price of admission or donation to a Historical Society, etc. are reasonable
charges, but you can also waive those if you wish. Also, some volunteers charge for gas if
they are obtaining resources far from their home or outside of the stated area. Items that
are not acceptable on this volunteer site are charges for your time, "per hour" fees or using
Gen Gathering to sell your products.
You must also inform the requester as to the approximate wait time for their request.
