Due to the sensitive nature of the services we offer, it is necessary to have a background check of all applicants. This
will include references and a police background check. If you are interested in pursing this application, please sign and
date the following Release of Information statement.
I understand that the training program staff will accept, without prejudice, resignations from the training program at the
conclusion of the first session (orientation), but will expect trainees to fully participate in all training sessions thereafter.
I also understand that, should I pass the training course and be accepted as a volunteer, I will make a commitment to
serve Crisis Line as a volunteer for a minimum of one year.
Crisis Line of Central Virginia, Inc. reserves the right to discontinue the relationship with volunteers or potential
volunteers if the executive director determines it to be in the best interest of the agency.
