Apply for State Clearances

APPLY FOR YOUR PENNSYLVANIA STATE CLEARANCES

All prospective Jubilee volunteers must have current (issued no more than 12 months ago) state clearances. There are no exceptions. Two standard clearances are required of most volunteers: the Pennsylvania Child Abuse Registry Check and the Pennsylvania State Police Records Check. Both clearances are FREE for volunteer positions and may be applied for online (see below).
