Note: a mentor is required for those applicants that are under 18 years of age. If you are 17 years of age or younger, a mentor can be a parent, teacher or a friend of yours that is over 18 years of age and that you and your family know and trust. If you are 18 or older and choose not to use a mentor, please complete the above using your parents’ or guardian’s information.

I have fully discussed the Senior Connects program with a parent or my guardian and have received their approval to participate in this program and work with the mentor that I have selected. I am 15 years of age or older. If I am 17 years of age or younger, I have selected a mentor and have fully discussed the Senior Connects program with my mentor and my mentor has agreed to help me throughout my participation with this program.

If I am 17 years of age or younger, I agree that if at any time my mentor is unable to continue to help me in the Senior Connects program, I will notify my parents or guardian and discontinue using the Senior Connects program until I choose another mentor and my parents agree to my choice of mentor.

I have fully read the Senior Connects method of teaching, understand it, and agree to abide by the program. I agree to use good common sense and will take no actions that could compromise my safety or the safety of any other individual or individuals. I have read and understand the Terms of Service.

I understand that the Senior Connects method of training is for self directed and mature individuals that are willing to work independently and take responsibility for their actions. My parent (or guardian), mentor (if applicable), and I agree that Senior Connects will not be held liable for anything directly or indirectly related to me using their program. I also understand that I may use the Senior Connects program at no cost to me and on an “as is” basis. My parent (or guardian), mentor (if applicable), and I have reviewed the Senior Connects program and have no remaining questions about any of the policies. I understand that my failure to follow this program terminates my rights to use this material or indicate that I am using the Senior Connects program, and will immediately notify Senior Connects if I have breached any of its provisions.

I agree with all of the provisions specified in the above three paragraphs and will diligently ensure they are undertaken.

Volunteers’ Commitment

I promise that I will do my best to help others.
I will be patient and strive to make sure each senior or individual that I’m working with is able to learn at a rate of study that makes them comfortable.
I respect anyone that strives to improve themselves - and hope that my own quest for knowledge and learning will not diminish when I’m in my 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
I will never accept any direct or indirect compensation for any assistance that I provide.
I will be courteous and professional - and promise to act in such a manner that reflects positively on the independent or assisted living facility or other complex that has opened their facility.
I will always exercise excellent judgment and keep my contact person at the facility, my parents (or guardian), and mentor (if applicable) aware of the progress made during the classes - and promptly discuss any problems, potential problems, or anything that I’m uncomfortable, with them. I will follow all guidelines and make certain that I follow all rules, laws, licensing agreements, use good judgment, and will always be safe.
If I am 17 years of age or younger, I will select an adult mentor to work with in accordance with the Senior Connects methodology.
I have thoroughly reviewed this Website, and especially the sections regarding Senior Connects’ procedures, and will teach senior citizens using the Senior Connect methodology and follow all of its policies and procedures.

I agree to abide by the spirit and letter of the Volunteer’s Commitment.
