As required by PA law and in accordance with Special Olympics Pennsylvania policy, you will need to
complete background checks in order to become or remain a Class A volunteer.
Please Note: Class A volunteers that are 17 years of age and under do not need to complete
background checks.
Step #1: Print, complete the
PA Disclosure Statement and upload. You must obtain a "witness" signature. A witness is someone who is 18 years of age or older and can attest to your signature. Your signature and your witness signature must be handwritten; no electronic signatures will be accepted. To upload, "Browse" for a file, select and "Submit."
If you have not lived in PA for the past 10 consecutive years, an FBI Fingerprint Criminal History Record is required by law. Click here to find locations to support this requirement. Once you have received the results, bring the original report to your local program. They will
make a copy for SOPA's records.
