I understand that:

  1. The references I listed may be contacted by mail, telephone or e-mail;
  2. I am in no way obligated to perform any volunteer service;
  3. The information I provided may be used to conduct a background check, to include driving record check, criminal background check and other records where required by local, state or federal law for volunteers working with youth;
  4. BBBS is not obligated to match me with a young person; and
  5. As part of the enrollment process, BBBS will ask me to provide additional personal information prior to making any recommendations for assignment.

Date: (Inserting date represents acknowledgement of above statement)

PLEASE NOTE: BBBS asks that new volunteers make a one-time contribution to help cover the cost of criminal background checks. This non-refundable donation allows us to focus more of our financial resources on recruiting new volunteers and providing match support. This donation can be paid via check, cash (exact change only) or money order at the time of your interview. You can also make your background check donation online.
