Volunteers are critical to the success of Child Development, Inc. Volunteers can be parents and family members of enrolled children; community members; or professionals and non-professionals.
For parents
of enrolled children, please let your child’s teacher know you are interested in volunteering. You will need to complete the FREE background checks and Disclosure Statement for Volunteers below. Then submit them to your child’s teacher.
Volunteer Clearance Requirements
All volunteers must obtain an ACT 34—Clearance (Report of Criminal History from the Pennsylvania State Police) and an ACT 151—Clearance (Child Abuse History certification from the Department of Human Services) BEFORE volunteering in any of our centers or administrative office. These volunteer clearances are FREE.
To assist you in this process, click on the links below:

• Federal Criminal History (FBI fingerprinting) is NOT required for a volunteer as long as the volunteer has been a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the previous 10 years.
All volunteers must compete and submit an additional form, which can be downloaded by clicking on this link: Disclosure Statement for Volunteers. This form states that the volunteer swears or affirms in writing that they have been a continuous resident of Pennsylvania for the past 10 years and that they are not disqualified from service based upon a conviction of an offense under §634.
