How To Volunteer For the ACA
​
The ACA firmly stands behind the Massachusetts state guidelines governing protection of youth. As such, we require background checks for all volunteers and contractors. The MA guidelines, from Section 6, Chapter 172H states:
​
​
​
Section 172H. Notwithstanding section 172 or any other general or special law to the contrary, any entity or organization primarily engaged in providing activities or programs to children 18 years of age or less, shall obtain all available criminal offender record information from the department prior to accepting any person as an employee, volunteer, vendor or contractor. Any entity or organization obtaining information under this section shall not disseminate such information for any purpose other than to further the protection of children."
​
The ACA also has a policy to keep all background checks secure in a password protected file with limited access by only two members of our board. Our CORI Policy can be viewed by clicking on the button below
