Most one-time volunteer opportunities don’t require clearances, but it’s always a good idea to have them. What clearances you’re required to have will largely depend on where and what you are going, so it’s important to understand the scope of the opportunity you’ve signed up for.
The three most commonly required clearances in Pennsylvania are: PA ChildLine, PA Criminal History Check, and FBI Criminal History Check, the first two of which are free for volunteers to obtain. Links to each of these clearances and the directions to complete them are listed below. You can also visit KeepKidsSafe.gov for further information.
