Everything you need to become an AYSO Volunteer.
COMPLETED CLEARANCES:
Once completed, a copy of the clearances must be given to Jessica Smith (RC). No volunteer will be eligible to volunteer in any capacity until the National AYSO has received the clearances and cleared the volunteer. Clearances needed are EPATCH (PA State police background), PA Child Abuse Clearances, Sterling volunteers background check. The clearances should be free except for Sterling Volunteers which we reimburse at the end of the season. Please keep a copy for yourself.
You can email all clearances to [email protected]
WHEN SHOULD I START THE CLEARANCE PROCESS?
IMMEDIATELY!! All volunteers are encouraged to get the process started since every volunteer in the state of Pennsylvania must complete these clearances. ALL CLEARANCES MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS OR YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOLUNTEER.
WHO CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I MAY HAVE?
