Why We Are Unique!

We are the only group in America that offers its members a comprehensive alternative for insuring their volunteers. Our volunteer liability insurance program's approach better protects volunteers and, even more importantly, it substantially reduces the organization's exposure to a volunteer-related claim. It’s a win-win alternative, and it’s the only volunteer insurance policy of its kind.

Fundamentals of a Volunteer Risk Management System — This document begins with six questions that allow you to assess your current efforts to manage volunteer risks. Then it describes the most common volunteer risks, how to identify risk scenarios and develop appropriate responses for them, training and accountability for volunteers, and what to do whenever any accident or a liability exposure occurs. Throughout the document are references to resources available to VIS members, to help you develop an appropriate volunteer risk management system you can sustain even as staff and volunteers come and go.
