Note for all volunteers: The safety of all Girls on the Run program participants is of highest importance. In order to maximize and ensure these standards of safety, it is mandatory that national criminal and sex offender background checks be performed on all 5k volunteers over the age of 18. When you respond to this volunteer request, we will send you instructions on how to sign into the SECURE server and complete the required fields. Notification of results will be e-mailed to the Girls on the Run office within 24 hours. The Girls on the Run office will sign into the secure server to obtain the report. The fee for background checks will be paid by Girls on the Run Vermont. Background checks are good for 2 years. If you did this last year, you won't need to do it again this year. Please note that this background check is only for criminal/sex offender and does not include a credit report in any circumstance. Having the background check done in no way impacts a volunteer's credit score.
