Midtown Volunteer Registration

After receiving this application Midtown staff will email you information regarding the process for completing your Background check and Health Screening.  

 

Fingerprinting/ Background Check

Fingerprints are required to do a background check with the State of Missouri which is required to become a volunteer with any youth-centered program at Midtown.

Health Screening/ Screening

It is now required that Midtown have a health screening on file for each volunteer as well as a TB Risk assessment.

Midtown will provide a waiver for the cost associated with fingerprinting and health screening.  If you would like to cover these costs on your own please let Midtown staff know when you receive the email.

 

A volunteer will not be able to start volunteering until these 2 processes have been completed.
