Friendly Reminder: Volunteer Screenings
September 25, 2025

We would like to take this opportunity to remind Faculty and Staff about the Volunteer Policy and required background screenings.
Key points to keep in mind regarding volunteers:
- PNW is committed to providing a safe environment for work, study, and outreach activities.
- All volunteers will be subject to a background screening, which includes, at minimum, a Sex and Violent Offender Registry Check.
- Faculty, Staff and Volunteers must comply with the expectations and responsibilities outlined in the Volunteer (VI.B.2) policy.
- Supplemental information and helpful FAQ’s are available in the Administrative Manual on University Volunteers.
- Student Organizations that invite Volunteers to campus will require a Volunteer Agreement. For assistance with questions specific to Student Organizations, please contact studentlife@pnw.edu for assistance.
If you have any questions or need clarification, please contact Jahaira Perez at jahaira.perez@pnw.edu or at (219) 989-2893.
