It depends. All long-term volunteers must submit a Criminal Record Check. If a long-term volunteer is over 18 and working with children or seniors, a Vulnerable Sector Check is also required. Special event volunteers do not need a Criminal Record Check or Vulnerable Sector Check.
WBRL pays for all required paperwork.

Many of WBRL's ongoing volunteer positions require a long-term commitment. Volunteers often stay in their positions for a long period of time, resulting in limited openings.
In addition to our ongoing volunteers, we recruit volunteers to assists with special events and programs throughout the year.
