Ethics are particularly important in the context of mission-driven organizations who provide services for the most vulnerable populations. Volunteers and volunteer leaders are often the face of these organizations to the people they serve, and that makes ethical characteristics like honesty, integrity, transparency, confidentiality, and equity that much more important.
