Background Check 

Refresh Showers needs a current criminal record check (crc) for the vulnerable sector. You will not be allowed to volunteer without one. They need to be done every 5 years.  If you happen to already have a check from within the last 5 years, simply scan and send it by email to: bjjanz86@gmail.com 

If you do not have a current crc, you can fill out the application and pay online @  https://www.abbypd.ca/criminal-record-check or go to the police station. You will be applying for a “Police Information Check- Vulnerable Sector” as a volunteer.

If fingerprinting is required, please contact Janet Janz (bjjanz86@gmail.com) for a letter of reference so they waive the extra fee.

We need a copy of your results for our files. Please submit your results and your receipt for reimbursement to either Henry, Anna or Janet (bjjanz86@gmail.com)  

Confidentiality Agreement

Confidentiality can be a life or death issue for people who are homeless. As a volunteer of the Refresh Mobile Shower Ministry Program, I agree to hold information regarding people I encounter while volunteering and their condition in confidence. This includes not sharing camp locations. Conversations about individuals being served and their situations, without their consent are violations of the trust, respect and privacy to which they are entitled.

Do not share your personal contact information with individuals being served (address, phone number, email)

Do not transport individuals being served in your personal vehicle.

• Connecting and building healthy wholesome relationships between volunteers and individuals being served is encouraged. It is important that these relationships be developed carefully and respectfully, recognizing that many individuals being served are emotionally, socially, spiritually, and physically vulnerable. With this in mind, please do not visit camp locations outside of Refresh Mobile Shower Ministry events.

 I agree to abide by the Refresh Mobile Showers confidentiality agreement (as seen above).
