AmeriCorps VISTA requires a criminal history background check of all VISTAs to ensure all community members with whom we work are protected, particularly children, individuals with disabilities, and individuals over 60 years old.
We are investigating for past sexual offenses and violent crimes. Minor offenses, unless impacting directly on your assignment, will not bar you from service.
This background check will entail a search of the National Sex Offenders Registry and an FBI criminal background check. Review of the National Sex Offenders Registry will be completed prior to Pre-Service Orientation. You will be fingerprinted at Pre-Service Orientation by a representative of AmeriCorps VISTA. Until the background check is completed and you are cleared, you will not be permitted to work with children, individuals with disabilities, or individuals over 60 years of age, without supervision.
