Volunteer Requirements 

Part 1: Live Scan

ALL volunteers that will work at the school while students are present MUST pass a Live-Scan background check. These checks are not transferable between locations, so even if you have done one before  for another organization you must do a new one for Mistwood. Live Scans cost $30-$49, and that amount is able to be reimbursed to the families service hours (3-5 hours). 

Step 1: Come to Mistwood and ask the staff for a “Request for Live Scan Service" form. You will also need a legal ID and a way to pay for the live scan. 

Step 2: Take the Live Scan form to one of the agencies listed: Humboldt County Office of Education has a list of locals you can get the live scan done. 

Part 2: Driving 

If you are planning to drive students, other then your own you will also need to complete/submit the following to Mistwood:

• A DMV Driving Record

• Copy of your Drivers License

• Copy of your Car Insurance

• Sign  Mistwood's MVSR Policy
