DECLARATION
I have thoroughly considered the time commitments, financial obligations, leadership role and personal devotion required to succeed as
an Enjoy Church Intern and am willing to apply myself to these standards.
I acknowledge and agree that:
          a) Enjoy Church is not obliged to disclose details of any reference nor provide reasons for declined applications;
          b) As a volunteer I will not be an employee of Enjoy Church and no representation has been made that I will be offered
          employment if I successfully complete the Internship Program as a volunteer.
I understand that the church operates in an environment of numerous legal and ethical restrictions, and I will fully cooperate
with the church in abiding by these. I assure the church, in considering me for a volunteer role that:
          1. I have no health impediment that will put me or any other person at risk in the fulfilment of my designated role;
          2. Other than those matters previously disclosed in this application, I know of no past behaviour that renders me unfit to serve
          as a volunteer or which detracts from the obligation of the church to operate as a place of safety to a minor or any other
          person. Such past behaviour may include being the subject of an allegation of sexual abuse (whether onvicted or not),
          including any type of molestation, indecent exposure, sexual harassment or intimidation;
          3. I have read, understood and accept the terms and conditions outlined in this document. I also authorise Enjoy Church to
          undertake all necessary background checks including, but limited to, ‘Criminal Record Checks’. ‘Working with Children Checks’
          and reference checks; and
          4. I have provided information that is true, complete and accurate. I understand that any willful dishonesty may lead to the
          inability to participate in Enjoy Church volunteer activities.

Signature                                                                                                    Date
