FLORIDA PATHFINDERS PATHFINDER Director s/staff Packet 2017-2018
May 2017 Hello Pathfinder and Adventurer Directors As you may know, The North American Division changed vendors for the training and background screening program that was in place for Conference volunteers as of 12/31/2016. We no longer use Shield the Vulnerable, it is now through a company called Verified Volunteers. The Verified Volunteers program is similar to STV. Once the user is on the website, they must select the Southern Union, the Florida Conference, and then their church name to begin the registration process. They will be required to do a training session first and then they can submit information for their background screening. Once their background screening is done they can go back into their sign in page and print off their background report. Please be sure to provide your volunteers the instruction sheets so they know how to sign up. The Shield the Vulnerable data has not been transferred over to the new Verified Volunteer program. This includes people who were set up in the STV system as the administrators for the various entities. All volunteers that are either new, or their three years under the Shield the Vulnerable are up (expired) must sign up under the new Verified Volunteer program. Each church location is to have an administrator over the Verified Volunteer program that can view the list of volunteers for their location and keep track of the information. They can see who has cleared the background screening, and remind people when they need to redo the program.

Every Church in Florida Conference is required to have a Designated Person that oversees ALL local church volunteers. This person is called a Level 2 Administrator! DESIGNATED PERSON BACKGROUND SCREENING PROGRAM NOTE: All Administrators MUST complete the training and background check before they can be made the administrator for their entity. A Level 2 Administrator for the background screening program will have the ability to see when a volunteer has started and completed the required training course and background screening for their location/church. It also allows them to be sure all volunteers at their facility have complied with the requirement. They do not have access to the background information, they only see if the volunteer is eligible or ineligible for service once their background check has been run. For a large facility, you might want to select two Level 2 Administrators to oversee the program.
