Volunteer pledge

As a volunteer of Student Action with Farmworkers, I commit myself to the advancement of the mission of SAF to work with young people to improve the lives of farmworkers. I would like to volunteer with SAF by:

Provide transportation or housing for summer interns. Each summer, SAF coordinates internships for 25 college students from across the country. We need support with picking them up and dropping them off at the RDU airport, providing overnight lodging when they arrive and before they leave, and providing summer housing for the duration of the program (June-mid August).
Become a grassroots fundraiser. We'll work with you to come up with fundraising ideas and to create a personalized web page so your friends and family can learn about and support SAF's work.

Please let us know if you would like to be engaged in our work in another way

Serve on a SAF team:

Organizational Capacity committee clarifies and strengthens organizational systems, leadership and governance; ensures diversity and constituency representation on the Board of Directors; and monitors and oversees finances of SAF. The OC meets every other month.
Fundraising team strengthens and sustains SAF’s diverse funding base and works to increase individual donations. The fundraising team meets monthly.
End of Summer Celebration team plans and coordinates SAF’s annual public event to honor our work and engage our constituents. The EOS team meets every other week from May through August. We also need volunteers for the day of the event (early August).
Program team evaluates and supports SAF’s programs. The program team meets as needed.
NC Farmworker Institute team plans and coordinates a statewide conference and networking event for farmworkers and advocates. The team meets as needed

As a volunteer with SAF, I agree to avoid conflicts of interest and any conduct that may suggest the appearance of impropriety in the disbursement of funds. If a potential conflict of interest arises, I will disclose the potential conflict to the SAF Executive Director. Further, I will not use, or permit to be used, SAF’s name, mailing lists, office facilities or resources to support or oppose any candidate or political party in accordance with Internal Revenue Service 501(c)(3) regulations. I understand that resources of Student Action with Farmworkers are for use only in carrying out the organization’s mission. *

I agree.
