Volunteer Clearance Requirements
 
Pennsylvania ACT 215 requires background checks for volunteers who supervise or have regular direct contact with children.

If the volunteer has NOT been a resident of PA continuously for the past 10 years, in the addition to the above documentation, an FBI Criminal Background Check (fingerprint check) for federal criminal history records must be completed.
