Conditions and Agreement

Please carefully read these conditions for acceptance into class and indicate your agreement by checking the box provided:

If accepted as a member of the City Guides training class, I agree to commit my time and attention as a volunteer to further the objectives of the City Guides mission. I understand these objectives to be 1) to preserve and perpetuate the history and folklore of San Francisco; 2) to celebrate the rich history of cultural diversity in San Francisco and its neighborhoods; 3) in the spirit of the San Francisco Public Library, our primary sponsor, to provide this service free of charge to the public.

Any applicant accepted for training must pay a $200 tax-deductible donation (non-refundable). (This includes: CG Jacket, nametag, clipboard, refreshments, speakers, training and graduation celebration.) Scholarships are available for those with documented need.

I agree to commit myself to a minimum of 6 scheduled tours per year.

It is my intention to use the training received to prepare a tour and be available for regular scheduling by no later than 6 months after the end of the training course.

All gratuities/donations accepted by me as a result of any City Guide tour will be turned over to San Francisco City Guides as a donation to the organization.

By checking the "Agree" box I acknowledge that I understand and agree to the role of a City Guide volunteer and the requirements of the education and training class as presented above:

I agree.
