Agreements

I understand that some volunteer roles require training before participating in operations, field activities, or deployments. * I understand that CAWA operates with a structured volunteer hierarchy — team members report to Coordinators, who report to Division Chiefs. * I agree to follow CAWA policies, safety expectations, and team standards if selected to volunteer. * I understand this is an initial interest form and that CAWA may contact me for additional information or onboarding steps. * I understand that certain roles — particularly field and disaster relief positions — may require additional screening or a background check.
