Class Materials
Intended use of Materials
The materials below are intended for use by Green Mountain RSVP AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers who are certified to teach this Bone Builders program at sites that have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Green Mountain RSVP and the students who are taught by those certified volunteer instructors.
Insured Volunteers and Assumption of Risk
Green Mountain RSVP, an AmeriCorps Seniors program, provides supplemental insurance to registered volunteers while they are performing their volunteer service, such as leading a Bone Builders class. Anyone using these materials who is not a registered Green Mountain RSVP volunteer, a student in such a volunteer's class, and/or not teaching a group at an official Green Mountain RSVP class site (one where there is a Memorandum of Understanding between the site and Green Mountain RSVP) does so at their own risk and with no support from Green Mountain RSVP and has no access to the supplemental insurance provided from AmeriCorps Seniors through Green Mountain RSVP.
Ongoing Support and Training
Green Mountain RSVP provides ongoing training and support only to registered volunteers who are certified Bone Builders leaders.
