The bilingual manual for permanent employees and field staff details the regulations and guidelines that govern the activities of Katimavik, a volunteer service program in which Canadian youth, ages 17-21, spend nine months in groups of 12, participating in community work projects and special learning activities in the areas of work skills, second language, environmental awareness, billeting, sociocultural explorations, nutrition and well-being, active leisure, and international awareness. The manual is organized into six numbered sections, each with sub-series containing similar or related topics. Section 1 covers matters of organizational policy regarding use of the name Katimavik, communications, project development and selection, project safety and hygiene, finances, and vehicles. Section 2 outlines policies concerning employee recruitment, selection, non-discrimination, salaries, working hours, vacations, insurance coverage, pension plans, training and development, moving and travel expenses, evaluation, and termination. Section 3 covers policies towards participants including eligibility and selection criteria, required personal effects, room and board, transportation, code of conduct, medical and insurance coverage, training, and feedback. Sections 4, 5, and 6 detail specific operating procedures for implementing most of the policies for employees, participants, and the project that are addressed in Sections 1-3. (NEC)
