In the interest of safety for the children and youth we serve, Lighthouse employs a comprehensive application and screening process.
Individuals interested in directly engaging with children and youth must be at least 21 years of age, unless participating in a college sanctioned field placement or practicum.
Applicants must complete the following steps before beginning their volunteer assignment:
- Complete a volunteer application
- Submit the name and mailing address of three personal or professional references
- Interview with the Volunteer Coordinator and a program representative
- Undergo a Hamilton County police check
- Submit to being fingerprinted by Lighthouse for the Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation
- Attend Volunteer Orientation
All volunteer applicants are considered for all positions without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, age, marital or veteran status, or the presence of a non-job-related medical condition or handicap.
