Yellowstone Applicant Background Check Disclosure Affidavit

(Revised May 18, 2011)

The Yellowstone Conference screens prospective employees and volunteers to ensure the safety and well-being of participants, guests and staff—particularly children, youth, vulnerable adults and developmentally challenged persons. Joining with many parents, legislative bodies and children/youth organizations, we require disclosures by all persons who will be working in conference ministry settings including but not limited to: local churches, camping, UMVIM, youth events, and retreats.

All volunteers or hired persons who will participate in overnight or multi-day settings must fill out this form completely and return it at least two weeks prior to you beginning service. Information obtained does not automatically disqualify an applicant, but is considered on a case-by-case basis in view of all relevant circumstances. Completion of this affidavit and a background check is required by applicants in order to participate in Yellowstone Conference ministry areas. Please read and complete the requested information carefully, as any falsification, misrepresentation, or incompleteness in this disclosure is grounds for disqualification.
