The agreements and policies, clarify the scope and expectations of our Program. WSU Extension and local counties invest in volunteers and in return, volunteers invest in WSU Extension and in local communities. It is important to clearly define expectations so current and interested volunteers have the information they need to determine if being a WSU volunteer is a good fit. WSU Extension values the time and talents of volunteers and commits to doing our best to make the volunteer experience productive and rewarding.<\/div><\/div><div id=\"field_31_20\"  class=\"gfield gfield--type-html gfield--width-full gfield_html gfield_html_formatted field_sublabel_above gfield--no-description field_description_below gfield_visibility_visible\"  data-js-reload=\"field_31_20\"><b>Applying to become a WSU Extension Master Gardener<\/b><br>\n<br>\n<ul>\n  <li>I understand that I must be 18 years of age at the time I am accepted into the Program.<\/li><br>\nI understand that I must apply to the program and that my acceptance is not automatic. I may not be accepted. The right to accept or deny is held by WSU Extension.<\/li> <br>\n  <li>I understand that my acceptance into the WSU Extension Master Gardener Program commits me to 1) completing WSU Extension Master Gardener training, and 2) a minimum of 40 hours of volunteer service to be completed by the end of the first calendar year or 60 hours by the end of the second calendar year after completing training.<\/li> <br>\n  <li>I understand that if I do not complete the minimum service hours requirements, I will be billed for each hour of service not completed at a rate of $25\/hour.<\/li> <br>\n  <li>I understand that WSU Extension conducts background checks on all volunteers using a third-party vendor. A criminal record will not necessarily bar me as a volunteer but will be considered as it relates to the specifics of volunteer work.<\/li><br>\n  <li>I understand that volunteering is a privilege, not a right. If selected as a volunteer, I understand that I serve at the request of WSU Extension and that the request can be withdrawn at any time.<\/li><br>\n  <li>I agree to disseminate information without regard to race, age, color, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex, gender, disability, veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.<\/li><br>\n  <li>I agree to follow all applicable federal, state, county, WSU, and WSU extension policies, regulations, and laws.<\/li><br>\n  <li>I agree to provide only research-based horticulture information from WSU or other research-based and approved resources. For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/\">WSU Extension<\/a>.<\/li><br>\n  <li>I understand that as a volunteer, I am limited to giving advice to home gardeners only. It is not my role to advise commercial industries.<\/li><br>\n  <li>I understand that I must not give advice that could be perceived as legal, nor am I permitted to give advice about growing marijuana, food safety and preservation, and mushrooms and foraging.<\/li><br>\n  <li>I understand that I must not use my WSU Extension Master Gardener Certification to provide product or service endorsements; nor may I use my certification to advertise my personal business or while I am performing professional services (e.g., landscape management).<\/li><br>\n\n  <li>I understand that I must follow the pest management recommendation policy, which follows an integrated pest management (IPM) approach. An IPM approach includes providing information about cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods using WSU approved resources. If your personally held values prohibit your ability to advise about the safe and appropriate use of pesticides, becoming a WSU Extension Master Gardener may not be for you.
