Confidentiality Agreement *

Please read through each statement carefully. Check each box to agree to statement

I will not disclose the address/exact location of where our friends in the International Refugee Community live to individuals who will not be attending a Spero Project orientation. Please never give the name of an apartment complex or home address to news organizations, newspapers, or other media. Sadly, there are those who will take advantage of a vulnerable population and our clients typically trust most Americans whether they know them or not.

I will ask permission from The Spero Project staff before taking pictures of clients. I will receive additional permission to use these pictures for any purposes, including social networking sites. This is to ensure the safety of all clients, some of whom have fled to the United States as individuals targeted by their home governments.

I will never disclose any information I gain about clients in my interactions with them. I will be particularly careful in safeguarding personal information such as social security numbers if I see them when assisting clients with forms, applications, etc.

I will be sensitive when discussing clients and my work with them, especially on social networking sites. I will do my part as an advocate by understanding and expressing that they are individuals before they are refugees. For example, try to use the phrase, “I spend Monday evenings tutoring children from the International Refugee Community of OKC,” rather than, “I tutor refugee kids.”

I commit to consult The Spero Project staff before offering any financial resources or large donations to clients. We are at all times working to encourage sustainability among clients and can, on rare occasions, offer alternative methods of assisting clients that are more beneficial for their long-term acclamation to life in the United States.
