It is the policy of the Hudsonville Fair board that all Hudsonville Fair youth group volunteers/leaders may be subject to a background check. At a minimum, each subsequent 3 years, a new background check may be completed on each volunteer. All costs will be paid for by the Hudsonville Fair board.
Particular areas of concern will be forgery, thief, sexual charges, issues regarding underage individuals and other violence.
Each background check will be confidentially reviewed by the Youth Club Chair/Co-Chair. If they feel there are areas of concern, a confidential meeting will be held with the volunteer to discuss and clarify the areas of concern. If the concerns are not resolved or explained to their satisfaction, it will be brought to the Hudsonville Fair Board President and from there, may be a meeting of the Executive committee for disposition of the concerns.
Copies of the background check will be secured in the Fair Board security box.
By signing this agreement, the volunteer agrees to this policy and will abide by the decisions of the board regarding this policy.
