Schreiber Center Volunteer Application: S.T.A.R.S. Preschool

Before beginning this application, please be certain you have copies of your PA Child Abuse Clearance, PA State Police Criminal Background Check, and FBI Fingerprint Clearance. Persons under the age of 18 will need to have a parent/guardian with them to complete this form.

I understand that this is an application and not a commitment or promise of volunteer opportunity. I am aware that S.T.A.R.S. volunteer positions require the volunteer to produce current copies (valid within the past five years) of the PA Child Abuse History, PA State Police Criminal Background Check and FBI Fingerprinting. I acknowledge that any and all costs associated with said clearances is the responsibility of the volunteer.

In consideration of being allowed to participate as a volunteer in the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development ("SCPD")and all related events and activities ("Event"), I, on behalf of myself and on behalf of my heirs, assignees, personal representatives and next of kin and intending to be legally bound, consent to the use of any photos, slides, film or sketches by SCPD taken during the Event for publicity, advertising, promotion or any other purpose in connection with SCPD's work, and further agree to release, indemnify and hold harmless SCPD and its officers, directors, officials, agents and employees, from any and all liability, for loss, harm, damage, injury, cost or expense whatsoever including without limitation, property damage, personal injury (including emotional distress), and/or death which may occur in connection with preparation for, or participation in, the Event, or participation in any Event- related activity, and for any claims or causes of action whatsoever, including, but not limited to, those based on publicity rights, defamation or invasion of privacy, to the fullest extent permitted by law. I agree that any claims or disputes arising from my participation in the Event shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, and the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue.
