Re: Volunteer Screening?

Here is what we plan to do to at Zeeland to work with the volunteer screening. I think it will be legal and satisfy FIRST


After I made my first post to this thread I took the FAQ's from FIRST to my administration. They didn't want me to handle the FIRST paper so they made a call to FIRST to ask more questions. FIRST directed them to the quote below.

"Are there any exemptions for people screened through other processes?
The following is the only exemption: Adults who have been screened by a public school system to work with youth are exempt from the background screening and reference check process. (Those exempted and screened by a public school system may include currently employed teachers, other currently employed school employees, and current school volunteers.) The team leader should maintain documentation that the mentors have been screened by the school."

Because we use a system of screening here for our volunteers FIRST should be able to exempt our engineers from the process that FIRST has set up.

I hope this helps.


Happy Holidays
