Volunteers are an important asset of the City’s workforce and make it possible for the City to deliver services to San José residents. As a volunteer, you represent the City of San José. As such, it is important that you adhere to the City’s Volunteer Code of Ethics.

I, as a volunteer with the City of San José agree to:

•Conduct myself in a professional manner; maintaining high standards of integrity and honesty.
•Treat all members of the public, employees, and other volunteers with respect and courtesy.
•Avoid any activity that could be seen as a conflict of interest, such as accepting gifts or favors from individuals or businesses that could be seen to be an attempt to influence a City decision.
•Respect confidential information that is available to me as a result of my volunteer work with the City, and refrain from using it for personal gain or for personal, non-City business related reasons. Bring any violation of this confidentiality to my supervisor.
•Promptly raise questions and concerns regarding possible violations of City policy or local, State orFederal law with my immediate supervisor or another manager within my department.
•Reinforce the City of San José's commitment to equal employment opportunity and a work environment free of discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment.
