Since some of our positions involve access to confidential information and/or contact with at-risk populations, a person's prior conviction(s) may be prohibitive to serving in some positions. Depending on the position(s) you are interested in, we may also pursue a background check later in the application process. If the background check shows information different than you have disclosed, we may choose to deny you placement as a volunteer with our organization. This is an opportunity for and a verification of openness and honesty, rather than an attempt to exclude people. Thank you for understanding.
