As members of the Volunteer community, we must all work together to end hazing.
Be proactive in preventing hazing
- Know the rules
- Clarify expectations of membership
- Members should be clear and transparent with new members about what they will encounter when they join the group.
- Hold yourself and your peers accountable
- When planning activities, consider:
- What are the potential outcomes?
- How does this activity align with the core values of the group?
- What do you want members to gain from the experience?
- What do you want your organizational culture to be? What you permit, you promote. The culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior leaders are willing to tolerate.
- Provide alternative activities for bonding
