Yes. For your first visit, no clearances are required. We want you to come and see what we do and make sure you enjoy it.
If you choose to become a regular volunteer at Martha’s we will need you to complete three clearances:
1. Child safety clearance
2. Criminal background check
3. FBI clearance for anyone who’s lived out of state over the past 10 years.
We provide all volunteers with a step-by-step clearance how to process, and are more than happy to assist you in obtaining these clearances. If you already have these clearances, just provide copies via email or upon your arrival.
