B.1.6 Volunteer Termination
If an Extension volunteer violates the Maine 4-H Volunteer Standards of Behavior contract, the University of Maine Cooperative Extension has the right to terminate the volunteer from the program. The Extension Director is the only person authorized to exercise the right to terminate an Extension volunteer. The process leading to termination is:
Written documentation of the situation or circumstance that may warrant the consideration to terminate a volunteer is made by an Extension staff member with copies sent to the volunteer and the appropriate Program Administrator.
The Program Administrator provides an opportunity for the volunteer to respond to the issues documented in step number one.
The Program Administrator will forward documentation, the response of the volunteer and any other relevant information to the Administrative Council of UMCE.
The Administrative Council will make recommendations to the Director of Extension.
The Director of Extension will make a determination and notify the volunteer of the decision in writing.
If there is considered to be a risk to the safety of program participants or volunteers, the Director can act immediately to terminate a volunteer from the program.
