VOLUNTEER TRAINING AND BACKGROUND CHECK REMINDER
ALL volunteers re-enrolling this year need to complete the online training “Supporting You Supporting Youth.” This is an annual training requirement. Also, some volunteers will need to renew their background checks. If you need to renew your background check, be sure to check your email for a link from HireRight. Per UW Madison, all re-enrolling volunteer training and background checks must be completed by December 1, or your volunteer status will be considered inactive and you will not be able to act in any volunteer capacity with our 4-H youth. Please reach out to Dana Berger with any questions.
