Tutoring Requirements. All Members serving in tutoring programs must possess a high school diploma or equivalent. National Service Criminal History Checks (NSCHC): All member selections are contingent on completion and review of the required NSCHC. • National Sex Offender Public Registry (NSOPR) check (also known as NSOPW) • New York State Patrol WATCH Check AND a check of the official criminal record repository of the state of residence at the time of application to the AmeriCorps position • FBI fingerprint-based check using the CNCS-approved FBI Channeler described in the Guide. An individual who refuses to undergo the required checks cannot be enrolled. State criminal history check(s) must be completed using the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) specified state registry. All criminal history check documentation must be maintained according to state disclosure laws. NSCHC documentation will be maintained by WSC. In rare cases, a waiver will be requested for a Member whose sponsoring organization is awaiting the results of the Member’s out of state background check. The waiver allows the Member to serve while the background check is pending. Former Employees: Normally, projects may not select an employee, or previous employee, as an AmeriCorps Member. However, if the project receives an application from a current or former employee and wishes to select the individual as a Member, the project must request approval from the CCA prior to selecting the individual. The project must demonstrate that the Member will be performing activities and serving in a capacity distinct from his or her prior employment. Returning National Service Participants: To be eligible to serve for a subsequent term of service the Member must receive a final satisfactory, or better, performance evaluation for his or her most recent term of national service served with the CCA or elsewhere. The Member understands that mere eligibility for an additional term of service does not guarantee selection or placement.
