  • Being aware of the privileged position and taking great care not to take advantage of it.
  • Maintaining confidentiality of member information
  • Developing and maintaining knowledge of Freecycle rules and guidelines.
  • Being familiar with the Mod Manual and referring to it regularly. ‐ Joining regional and local mod squads.
  • Promoting your Freecycle group and representing Freecycle to the public in a manner that builds a positive reputation for Freecycle.
  • Performing other tasks as required.
