Good Afternoon,

We are in the process of revising our volunteer policies and looking at other institutions.  The questions I have are:

Does your institution require background checks for all volunteers?
If this is a new policy, did you go back and check current volunteers or only new applicants?
If you did check current volunteers, how was it received by the volunteers?  Was it
worthwhile?  Did it cause any offense?

Thank you for your assistance,

Christina Hirn
