Code of Conduct
This Code of Conduct is designed to provide all Boston Pride for the People (BP4TP) volunteers with a set of principles and expectations for appropriate conduct and behavior. Through every interaction you have with each of our constituents, as a BP4TP volunteer, you play a powerful role in fostering a sense of belonging and community.
All volunteers shall abide by and conform to these professional standards:
Volunteers shall act honestly and ethically while in the performance of their volunteer duties.
Volunteers shall conduct themselves as a friendly, responsible, informative, and respectful community representative of BP4TP to ensure a positive experience for all participants and spectators of our events.
Volunteers shall treat all volunteers, and community members with respect, courtesy, and dignity.
Volunteers must not discriminate against any individual or group based on their race, ethnic background, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
Volunteers shall not discriminate and shall be respectful of a person's pronouns.
Volunteers shall not harass, bully, or mistreat Committee members or other volunteers.
Volunteers shall report 15 minutes early for their shift and inform a Captain or Chair if they will be late or absent.
The use of profane, insulting, harassing, or otherwise offensive language while volunteering will not be tolerated.
Volunteers shall obey all applicable local, state, and federal laws, while acting on behalf of BP4TP, including all laws and regulations that govern appropriate conduct in the workplace.
Possession or use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco products are not permissible during your volunteer shift.
Volunteers shall not arrive at their volunteer shift under the influence of any substance.
Weapons are prohibited at all times at BP4TP events.
Volunteers must be 18 years or older on the date of their assignment.
Volunteers shall deter wrongdoing and ensure accountability for adherence to the Code of Conduct.
Volunteers must wear the uniform provided to them by the BP4TP at all times during their shift.
Volunteers may not bring pets (other than service animals) or children to their assignment.
We encourage Volunteers to carry a government-issued photo I.D. at all times during their assignment and should be prepared to present it to public safety officials and BP4TP security personnel upon request.
All bags are subject to search by public safety officials and BP4TP security personnel.
Do not bring valuables with you to your assignment. BP4TP is not responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen items.
Theft of BP4TP property is prohibited, and proper authorities will be notified if theft occurs.
Volunteers shall assist and cooperate with all BP4TP investigations.
Volunteers shall seek assistance if they have questions about any volunteer guidelines, including the Code of Conduct.
Volunteers shall report violations or suspected violations of the Code of Conduct. Violations should be reported to Volunteer@bp4tp.org
Bullying
Bullying may rise to the level of harassment and is therefore prohibited. Bullying is defined as unwelcome or unreasonable behavior that demeans, intimidates, or humiliates people, either as individuals or as a group. Bullying behavior is often persistent and part of a pattern, but it can also occur as a single incident. Some examples of bullying behavior include but are not limited to: abusive and offensive language, insults, teasing, and spreading rumors. It can also include a manipulation of the work environment or psychological manipulation.
Attendance and Punctuality:
BP4TP requests all volunteers be reliable and punctual in reporting for scheduled volunteer activities. We request that volunteers show up for their shift 15 minutes early. While BP4TP will attempt to be flexible in all cases, volunteers are expected to notify a Captain or Chair if they will be late or absent, so arrangements can be made for handling their responsibilities.
Adherence to Policies:
Volunteers are expected to comply with BP4TP policies including those described in this document. Failure to comply may be grounds for disqualification and/or removal.
Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Use:
Business/Volunteer-related activities must be conducted free from the influence of alcohol and drugs. In addition, these substances may not be possessed or distributed on the premises of BP4TP events. During business/event functions where alcohol is served, volunteers are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner.
Use of tobacco or e-cigarettes at BP4TP events/functions, and while representing BP4TP at any time, are restricted to designated areas.
While medical and recreational marijuana use is legal in certain areas of the United States, federal and state laws indicate that BP4TP has no obligation to accommodate cannabis use at our events.
Volunteers cannot report to the assignment impaired, nor should a volunteer smell of marijuana per the expectation for scents and hygiene in the workplace.
BP4TP follows the Drug-Free Workplace Act, which prohibits, in the workplace, the unlawful manufacturing, distribution, possession, or use of controlled substances, including marijuana that is otherwise lawful under state law.
The workplace consists of all property and facilities owned, leased, or rented by BP4TP, including grounds, buildings, vehicles, and any other equipment, and any site where volunteers perform work.
If the volunteer’s personal vehicle is parked within an area defined as the workplace, the rules governing a drug free workplace apply.
Term of Disqualification and/or Removal:
BP4TP is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all volunteers.
Volunteers who do not comply with the BP4TP Volunteer Code of Conduct may be subject to disciplinary action, including and up to disqualification and/or removal from their assignment and may not be eligible to volunteer at future BP4TP events or positions.
