Health & Safety Update
The health and safety of our volunteers is of utmost importance. Based on the guidance from the CDC and decisions made with the Hog Island Audubon Staff, we will no longer require volunteers to be vaccinated for COVID-19 or to mask in buildings or vehicles. To protect campers, staff, instructors, and volunteers, strict health and safety guidelines will still be followed if a camper, staff, or volunteer exhibits sickness during their visit to Hog Island.
BEFORE you sign up to be a volunteer, please read Audubon’s Camper Guidelines. These policies are also expected of FOHI volunteers, and are subject to change if necessary. Volunteers will be notified if changes are made.
Forms to complete
All volunteers are asked to complete our contract, liability waiver, and health history form. We will be adding a link to the forms by February of 2025. Please do not fill these out until your volunteer commitment has been confirmed by Adam, volunteer@fohi.org. We will still accept handwritten forms by mail (at least one month before you are expected at camp), but prefer people to use the electronic version if possible.
- NEW ONLINE Volunteer Forms all-in-one! Click here. If you prefer to mail it in, you can download, print, and send it to FOHI, P.O. Box 242, Bremen, ME 04551.
- Criminal background check –Staff and volunteers attending family and teen camps are required to have a criminal background check. Instructions will be sent before the season begins.
If you have questions about the information required on these forms, contract, or your volunteer schedule, contact Adam, the volunteer coordinator, at volunteer@fohi.org
