I agree that my services are donated to the “Museum” without contemplation of compensation or future employment.

I certify that the answers given by me to the foregoing questions and statements are true, correct, and without omissions.

I release the “Museum” and my former employers and all others from liability from damage which may result from such investigation, if upon such investigation, anything contained in this application is found to be untrue. I further agree to comply with all policies and procedures, as well as safety practices in all areas of the “Museum.” I understand that my volunteer status may be terminated at any time for failure to comply with policies and procedures of the “Museum,” including those of the volunteer program; for absence without notification; for reasons of unsatisfactory attitude, work, personal appearance, and/or for any other circumstances which, in the judgment of the “Museum,” would make my continued service as a volunteer contrary to their best interests.
