New Background Checks 

The River Valley Chapter will be joining the rest of the Nation in guaranteeing the safety of our clients and volunteers by participating in the new background check program.  We will be asking all of our current volunteers and staff to complete a very simple background check form on-line.  The form is available at mybackgroundcheck.com.  A special Red Cross logo is found on that page and upon clicking on it and submitting your information you will have completed the required background check program.

Currently this program is being underwritten by the national office.  At a future date, the cost will have to be taken over by the Chapter.  That is why it is imperative that you complete your background check as soon as possible.  If you are unable to access the program or have questions, please contact one of our staff members at your nearest office for assistance.  

This program is a standard that we must reach to maintain the integrity of the Red Cross and protect our reputation.  It will be a simple step to allow us to say that we continue to have the best volunteer support in the country and are part of a group that is making every effort to protect each person involved with our program.
