Pennsylvania youth volunteer
screening requirements
Three separate clearances required for anyone with direct contact with children.
Pennsylvania imposes one of the broadest mandates in the country. Employees and volunteers with direct contact with children must obtain three distinct clearances, and organizations are expected to hold current copies on file. Renewal intervals apply, so a clearance obtained once is not a permanent answer.
