Follow the rules of the places we serve
When volunteering, you agree to follow the policies of your school, church, host organization, and local community. If a policy conflicts with a Hands of Jesus listing, follow the local policy and let us know so we can review the listing.
Faith and respect
Hands of Jesus is openly Christian. Volunteers and hosts do not have to share our faith to participate, and we ask everyone to treat one another with the same love and respect regardless of background or belief.
Reporting
If a listing, chapter, or user violates these guidelines, email hello@handsofjesus.org. We may edit, hide, or remove content, and may suspend accounts, when guidelines are violated. See our Terms of Use for more.
