K. Initiating background check for volunteer

AZ4-HYD Foundation and the State 4-H office have combined forces to provide funding for all volunteer Arizona Department of Public Safety background check card fees for this year.  

County offices may pay for AZ DPS cards and fingerprinting services using the Pcard.  In addition, volunteers can pay for the card themselves and provide receipts to the county for reimbursement. 

For additional instructions, contact gblumanhourst@arizona.edu. 

Clear the Background Check is Step 2 for 4-H and Step 5 for Master Gardner volunteers who will work in school gardens. Volunteer facing pages are located here (no netID required):
