Background Checks

Pennsylvania's Child Protection Law requires that employees and volunteers that are over 18 years old and serve in direct contact with children, receive documented state, and in some cases, federal clearances. Clearances MUST be submitted before adults are accepted to serve in our children and youth programs. These necessary PA state clearances (criminal record & child abuse) are valid for five years and are free to obtain. If you have never had these performed, or are in need of renewal, here are the links to get started:
