At John Tracy Center, our top priority is ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in our care. To maintain this commitment, we require all volunteers to undergo a thorough screening process. This includes completing a Live Scan background check, a Health Screening report, as well as providing documentation of immunizations and a TB test. These measures help to ensure the safety and security of our children and create a trusted environment for all involved.
If a volunteer chooses to resign before the anticipated end of the agreed-upon length of service, it is expected that they provide at least one week's written notice. This notice should be communicated to their supervisor as soon as possible.
