Thank you for applying to be a volunteer at St. Joseph Children's Home. We appreciate your time and support of our mission. To protect the children in our care, we are very vigilant in thoroughly screening everyone who spends times on our campus and has access to the children. For this reason, it is necessary that we conduct background checks on all volunteers who will be on campus on a regular basis. This process is necessary, but also very costly. For this reason we request that everyone who needs a background check, per our volunteer requirements, covers the cost of the obtaining this documentation. Your cooperation and understanding of this process is appreciated.
