I'm no lawyer, but I think that it is important to get a parent/guardian to
sign-off on something if your volunteers are minors. I have attached a
letter that we have used with minors that volunteer regularly with us.
Reading over this form, I would even specify the exact type of work that the
minor would be doing.

The Stone Lake museum has used 4 H kids as docents. We tried to have th work
in our caboose and they were given a script to memorize. They did a great
job. Connie Schield
