 Acceptance into our volunteer program is not automatic, nor guaranteed.

Applicants will be accepted only upon successful completion of our application process, which includes reference checks, a screening interview, and submission of a recent criminal record check.  If you do not already have a current criminal history check issued by your local authority no more than 6 months ago, you must obtain a new check and forward it to us.

We require this check to ensure that every volunteer we accept is suitable to work with minors, and suitable to be a part of our volunteer team. Serious convictions such as sex offences, violent crime, and assault will render an applicant ineligible. Minor offences such as traffic violations and fine-based convictions are generally fine. Please contact us if you have any questions.
