SCJH has several activities that we look to you for help! So thank you in advance for considering becoming a volunteer for our amazing Club. We are always in need of Volunteers Just like you! Whether you are wanting to help sell garland, set up for the Holiday show or walk through Old Bills Fun run we need your HELP!  

-Note To ALL SCJH Volunteers-
Effective July 1, 2018, certain volunteers are required to complete U.S. Figure Skating SafeSport Training and background checks.


-What Does This Mean For Me?-
If you are a locker room volunteer or a volunteer that will come in "close contact with skaters", you will need to take the SafeSport Training & background check. If you are volunteering for set up of Garland or Holiday show set up/Ticket booth you will NOT need safesport & background check. If you aren't sure please reach out to the Club's Head of Safesport Tammy Brown. 

-How Do I do SafeSport & The Background Check?-
Below is a document with more information about the SafeSport training.There is also a document that will walk you through the background check process. There is a separate process for members and non-members, so everyone should be able to ensure compliance with this requirement.

-I Want To Volunteer With Out Doing SafeSport & The Background Check-
Great! Please reach out to our PARENT COMMITTEE / LIAISON COMMITTEE.

-FAQs-
Q: I have a background check from another organization (i.e. area school, hockey, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts). Can I use it to comply with U.S. Figure Skating SafeSport requirements?
A: Yes, but only if the background check was completed by NCSI. This is because of the criteria set by the U.S. Olympic Committee (which now has a Center for SafeSport). If the background check wasn’t completed by NCSI, we can’t use it. We promise, We've have asked! If it was completed by NCSI, Please send your documentation to memberservices@usfigureskating.org.

Q: There is a $20 charge for the background check. Who pays for that?
A: The SCJH will reimburse members for this amount. 

Q: When Do I need to Have my SafeSport & Background Check Done by.
​A: In order to ensure our club compliance, we would appreciate if you would complete your background checks and SafeSport training by the end of October. If you have any questions, please contact the Club!
