Applicant Signature

I acknowledge that having a criminal record does not automatically disqualify my application from consideration and that many factors are considered during evaluation of my application. I understand that each application is evaluated individually based on a variety of factors including the nature of the crime, how long ago the crime and/or release from incarceration occurred, whether a sufficient or satisfactory work record has been established since the crime and/or release from incarceration and the volunteer position applied for.

I affirm that the information set forth above is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. False statements in this application may result in an inability to provide volunteer placement, or revocation of an offer of placement once falsity of a statement becomes known.

I Agree
