Criminal Record Check:
Due to the nature of our organization, which provides services to children and operations in a shared space with our retail store and agency offices, all volunteers are required to undergo a criminal record check. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of the children we serve. Even if your role does not involve direct interaction with children, you may encounter them in our facility.
Please note that a criminal record does not mean automatic denial of your application to volunteer. To obtain your criminal record check:
