| Code of Ethics The National Recreation and Park Association has provided leadership to the nation in fostering the expansion of recreation and parks. NRPA has stressed the value of recreation, both active and passive, for individual growth and development. Its members are dedicated to the common cause of assuring that people of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to find the most satisfying use of their leisure time and enjoy an improved quality of life. |
 |
The Association has consistently affirmed the importance of well-informed and professionally trained personnel to continually improve the administration of recreation
and parks programs. Members of NRPA are encouraged to support the efforts of the Association and profession by supporting state affiliate and national activities and
participating in continuing education opportunities, certification and accreditation.
Membership in NRPA carries with it special responsibilities to the public at large, and to the specific communities and agencies in which recreation and park services
are offered. As a member of the National Recreation and Park Association, I accept and agree to abide by this Code of Ethics and pledge myself to:
 |
Adhere to the highest standards of integrity and honesty in all public and personal activities to inspire public confidence and trust. |
|
Strive for personal development of associates and students. |
|
Strive for the highest standards of professional competence, fairness, impartiality, efficiency, effectiveness and fiscal responsibility. |
|
Avoid any interest or activity, which is in conflict with the performance of job responsibilities. |
