Simply follow the steps below if you would like your Team Volunteers screened by FIRST:
· Invite the Team Volunteers to your team via your TIMS account.
· Send an email to: yppscreening@usfirst.org
o List FIRST, LAST name and EMAIL ADDRESS.
· FIRST will generate an email to your Team Volunteers inviting them to go to the FIRST account with the contracted screening agency for either the US or Canada.
· FIRST will send you confirmation of Team Volunteers who have passed screening.
If you have any questions, please send them directly to yppscreening@usfirst.org.

We followed the above indicated steps on October 29th, and followed up again on November 7th, but have yet to receive any communication from FIRST. Have any other teams had success with the Non-Lead Coach/Mentor Screening process? I'm sure they're very busy with screenings, but I always get nervous when this much time passes without a confirmation email.
