National Service Criminal History Check Resources
The Corporation for National and Community Service has issued a regulation requiring grantees to conduct and document National Service Criminal History Checks on Senior Companions and Foster Grandparents, as well as on AmeriCorps State and National (including Education Award Program) participants who, on a recurring basis, have access to children, persons age 60 or older, or individuals with disabilities. Visit the Corporation's website for more information.

The resources listed below are provided to help Corporation
grantees establish appropriate screening procedures for the selection
of volunteers and staff members. These resources contain practical,
useful information that can help grantees exercise proper due care
in the selection of volunteers and staff members for their respective
programs. This list is not exhaustive. Consequently, it would be
prudent for grantees to also review other available resources that
address volunteer selection and management issues.
