Volunteer Background Check - Minor

 

A background check is required for everyone over 13 years old volunteering with CEF, including any adults in the household if the club is held at a home and those who may be helping though they may not have direct contact with the children.  To protect your privacy, CEF of WI requires you to grant us permission to run a Background check. The background check needs to be rerun every 5 years.  

 

Following are some important considerations for all who will volunteer and have direct contact with the children through CEF ministries.

Minors are required to agree with all policies, and in lieu of a background check are required to provide contact information for four individuals, who are not family members.  One of the references needs to be from a pastor, youth leader, or someone familiar with the Christian walk.  The other three can be acquaintances. 

All approved workers receive a required nametag upon completion of steps 1-3.
You will be redirected to a secure site to complete the screening process.
