Volunteer

All volunteers who interact with the children in our care must be age 21 or older. The volunteer application process includes undergoing a background check and Live Scan Fingerprinting:

Background checks must be completed on an annual basis and cost $20. They must be submitted through Hope Center for Children to be valid with this organization.
Live Scan Fingerprinting is a requirement as of 2019 and is contracted by the state of SC with only one company statewide.
