If we think you're a great fit, we will provide you with a printed police record check form and a request letter from Happimess. You’ll need to bring these to the RCMP along with two pieces of ID—one must be a photo ID—for your criminal record check to work with children and/or vulnerable adults. Once it’s completed, bring us the receipt, and we’ll reimburse you.
Note: Some applicants may be exempt from requiring a police record check, including but not limited to: exchange students, teachers, RCMP officers, or other professionals already vetted through their current employers.

Volunteers are not paid but will be welcome to participate in creative sessions as a thank-you for their time.
