Volunteer Expectations

Treat MYS students, parents and staff with respect and dignity.
Never physically or verbally harass a student.
Report any inappropriate or unsafe behavior to the operations manager or a conductor.
Encourage inclusive rather than exclusive behavior in students.
Be firm, fair and consistent in all dealings with students. Address the
problem without attacking the person.
Maintain confidentiality at all levels, including among fellow volunteers, with students and within the community.
Do not bring an outside conflict with another student or family into the context of the organization.
Do not undermine your credibility with all students or parents by providing your own child special treatment outside the organization’s policies and procedures.
Do not smoke, use alcohol or any controlled substance when MYS students are present.
Do not use vulgar language when MYS students are present.

MYS Volunteers should expect from Minnesota Youth Symphonies

To be treated with dignity and respect as a co-worker, not just free help.

To be heard, and have an opportunity to be a part of the planning and to share and welcome ideas.
