Comment: NEW? Providers must be aware of requirements of a written policy for students and volunteers along with criminal background and TB checks.

The extensive cost of background checks and TB checks for volunteers has made offer these types of opportunities untenable for us as well as the volunteers, especially for people who may only help out a day or two in total. These individuals would never be unsupervised (alone with clients).
