For volunteers who participate in missionary work, there are a lot of unforeseen dangers that cannot be prevented. For this reason, a volunteer release and waiver of liability form from a mission or nonprofit organization is usually accompanied by other documents to be signed by a volunteer to free the organization for any injury due to accident or illness. Since the work is voluntary, everything, including medical insurance, must be provided by the volunteer himself who should also expect no compensation from the organization.

Athletic activities in school, meanwhile, often need either a parental release or release of liability waiver before students can participate in sports programs and athletics. These activities often present the danger of injuries and schools need parents to sign liability release waivers to free schools from being held liable for any injuries incurred during these athletic activities. The liability release waiver may cover instructors, coaches, supervisors, and the whole school in general. While participation in sports activities is encouraged for every student, the danger of being held liable limits a school’s ability to fully develop its sports program without the waiver of liability.

Besides sports programs, even field trips need release of liability waiver forms in case something happens during the course of the trip. The waiver covers road accidents that may occur that may be beyond the control and safety measures undertaken by the school. Even Boy Scout camping trips need release of liability waivers that need to be signed by the parents, otherwise their child will not be allowed to participate.
