Volunteer Tutors Needed 

 Butler County

The State of Pennsylvania requires us to collect a few documents from tutors to ensure the safety of students and the quality of instruction.  Contact your agency's tutor coordinator to find out how to submit these documents.

PA State Police Clearance - Free!

Download the "how to" to apply online or the paper application to print, complete and mail.  Be sure to indicate that you are a volunteer so you can receive this at no cost.

PA Child Abuse History Clearance - Free!

Download the "how to" to apply online or the paper application to print, complete and mail.  Be sure to indicate that you are a volunteer so you can receive this at no cost.

FBI Background Check / Disclosure Statement  - Free!*

If you have been a resident of PA for the past 10 years, simply download, print and sign the Disclosure Statement form at no cost.  *If you have not been a resident for 10 years, you will need to complete the FBI background check.  The current fee is $22.

Volunteer/Aide Intake Form

Please take a moment to download and complete this fillable PDF intake form.  The "Certification" section refers specifically to any teaching certificates that you may have earned. The "Years of Experience in Adult Education" refers to any time you have previously spent teaching adults and when you started.  You can leave the "Start Date for This Agency" blank for now; we will fill that in later. 

Copy of Bachelor's Degree (or higher)  - 1:1 Tutors Only

We are required to keep a copy of your bachelor's degree if you are a one-on-one tutor. Classroom aides are exempt from this requirement.  Copies of transcripts indicating which degree was earned are also acceptable and are frequently the cheapest solution.

Please contact your original degree-granting institution if you need to order these documents.
