Application process

Our volunteers go through an orientation process to increase their understanding of our work with those with emotional and/or behavioral challenges. Training times vary depending on the volunteer position. All volunteers who will have direct contact with clients must have a fingerprint background check (both state and federal), two tuberculosis skin tests done 30 days apart, and sign a confidentiality agreement. Fingerprinting and tuberculosis tests are done at Brook Lane’s expense.
