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 *Note: You can scroll down to “Volunteer Orientation\/Training” (below) if your application and background check have been submitted and Story Works has already contacted you to let you know that they have been reviewed and approved.* How to apply to become a volunteer with Story Works: Step 1: Please fill out a volunteer application This forms asks you for contact… Read more →<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"yoast_head":"\nHow to apply to become a volunteer with Story Works:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
