WELCOME TO THE OCJAAF!: BACKGROUND CHK

MANDATORY REQUIREMENT FOR ALL CHAPTER VOLUNTEERS...
Orange County Junior all American, Inc. (OCJAAF) and its affiliates have a great deal of concern about the safety and abuse of children.  As a person who is interested in the well being of children, we believe you are entitled to know how our organization is dealing with this critical issue.  In addition, as an applicant for a volunteer/staff position with our organization, you need to know the measures we employ to protect children in our care, as well volunteers/staff, from this serious problem. 

OCJAAF will not knowingly allow any person convicted of a crime of violence, physical abuse, sale of illegal substances, or has any other convictions that would indicate a pattern of behavior that would have a detrimental effect on children to be placed in a position that would involve direct contact with children.  We will not tolerate the abuse of any child and will make an active effort to prevent any abuse of children in our program.  We attempt to screen out anyone who poses an unreasonable risk to children through a background check.  We try to structure our activities so that volunteers/staff are not unecessarily left alone with children.  We take any allegations by children and others very seriously.  We will refer allegations to the State law enforcement authorities for investigation and will fully cooperate in any investigation.
