Background Check Authorization: I authorize The Arc of Hanover, through a third-party vendor, to conduct a background check on me before I volunteer. Information obtained through the background check will be used to help determine eligibility to volunteer for The Arc of Hanover.

The Arc of Hanover only receives 'clear' or 'exception' in response from the vendor to your background check. We do not receive or retain information beyond that finding. Our background check procedure is in place to enhance the safety of all individuals who work or volunteer with The Arc of Hanover.

While our background check platform references credit checks, we have opted NOT to use that feature for all applicants. Again, we will not check the credit of anyone applying to volunteer EXCEPT, potentially, in the process of fulfilling board member or staff person vacancies.

The link to complete the background check will be sent by First Choice Background Screening (crs.firstchoicebackground.com). This may take up to a week for you to receive.
