EGCR’s Fun Legal Fact of the Week is here to help you get through the work week by sharing a random fact about a state law, regulation, and more!
The Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 states that civilians whom volunteer for a non-profit organization, are at risk to make questionable choices that may result in damages to the property or another individual.
If their actions of the volunteer deemed to be handled irresponsibly and/or treated with poor care, the volunteer themselves are at risk in facing civil liability for their actions made during their time at the non-profit organization.
