Background CHecks

All volunteers that come on campus must complete an online background check and receive an approval e-mail before their first volunteer shift. Background checks typically take a few business days to be processed so go ahead and complete yours now if you plan to volunteer soon. Even if you have done this in previous years you will need an approved background check for this school year. Visit the link below to complete your background check. Once you receive your approval you are good to go for the year!

arriving for your shift

When you come to campus check in at the front office. Be sure to have your photo ID with you. If it’s your first volunteer shift you will also need to sign a confidentiality form that will be kept on file.
