How to apply to become a volunteer with Story Works:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Please fill out a volunteer application<\/mark><\/a> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Background Check FAQs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019m an educator\/youth serving organization employee, do I really need a background check?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fair question, and the answer is yes, you really do! We need a Story Works specific background check, so we can confidently tell the school district how stellar you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    My job requires a background check, can you guys use that one instead?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unfortunately, no. It would actually take a lot of resources and effort to get a different organization\u2019s background check due to stringent policies on sharing your information! This is actually to protect you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How much does this background check cost Story Works and can I pay for it?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We will happily pay for the background check but if you would like to donate the $18.50 it costs us to complete it or donate support for the program in general, that is welcome too! Donations of all sizes are always welcome at: https:\/\/storyworksak.org\/donate<\/mark><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Is this a credit report?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thankfully no. The \u201cFair Credit Reporting Act\u201d stamp you may see on the website\/application is just affirming that they do things by the book and won\u2019t release your private information.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: Story Works will contact you when your application and background check results have been reviewed and approved.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
