Background Checks

I was wondering if you would have any information about taking on volunteers with felony convictions. This is not a court-appointed volunteer. We do background checks for most adult volunteers, but we haven’t encountered this before (it’s for drugs; we don’t have the details yet). Do you happen to know what other agencies do? There is also some discrepancy as to whether the background check is even required.

Volunteer Time Value

Where can I find the current worth of a volunteer hour?
