Volunteer Background Check
The Virginia Diverse Chamber of Commerce recognizes the importance of maintaining a safe and secure environment for all participants involved in its programs. In order to ensure the well-being and protection of the youth involved, it is crucial to implement a comprehensive volunteer background check process.
Our Main Focus
Safeguarding Youth Participants:
The primary reason for conducting background checks on volunteers is to safeguard the well-being and safety of the young participants. By screening potential volunteers, the league can identify individuals with a history of criminal behavior, including offenses related to child abuse, violence, or drug-related crimes. This helps create a secure environment where young participants can engage in esports activities without any concerns for their safety.
Protecting League Reputation:
YASEGL’s reputation is built on trust and credibility. Implementing a volunteer background check process demonstrates the league’s commitment to ensuring the highest standards of safety and professionalism. It reassures parents, schools, and other stakeholders that the league takes necessary precautions to protect the participants, which in turn enhances the league’s reputation and attracts more participants and partners.
Ensuring Trustworthy Role Models:
Volunteers in YASEGL serve as role models and mentors for the young participants. By conducting background checks, the league can ensure that volunteers possess the necessary qualities and values to be positive influences on the participants. This includes verifying their educational background, professional experience, and character references. The league can then confidently present volunteers who are trustworthy, reliable, and suitable for their mentoring roles.
