reference CHECK AND BACKGROUND SCREEN

Once we have your application, we will check your references and send you a link to do a background screening.

Step 6:
Start Volunteering

For companionship volunteers, a Hart Felt staff member goes on an initial visit to the client’s home to introduce you to your potential client. If you are helping with repairs or in another capacity, then we reach out to get you started!

Step 5:
RETURN Paperwork

Once you have returned your paperwork, we will work to match you with a client based on your preferences/availability and your geographical proximity to a client.
