Please complete this form at the outset of the program year and keep it in your PBLC files.
AmeriCorps Provision, (B)(6)(h) requires programs with members or employees who have substantial direct contact with children (as defined by state law) or who perform service in the homes of children to conduct criminal reference checks on these members or employees as part of the screening process. Please complete this form at the outset of the program year and keep it in your PBLC files. If you determine that this provision does apply to your project, please maintain documentation that the required criminal reference checks were conducted in your files.
