Clearance Information

Volunteers are subject to a criminal background screening. 

Have you ever been convicted of an offense other than a minor traffic violation? A yes answer will not disqualify an applicant for consideration for a position; such information is only relevant in determining whether the conviction is directly related to the position for which you are applying. Failure to honestly answer this question will result in discontinued consideration of the application or termination of the volunteer role. Volunteers must meet the standards outlined in the AMITA Health policy. 

Indicate whether or not you have been convicted of any criminal offense other than minor traffic violations, and if you need to fulfill court required service. Please answer honestly; answering "Yes" does not immediatly preclude your eligibility.
