New Minor Volunteers (12 - 17yrs and older)
Volunteer Application & Screening Instructions
All new volunteers and paid workers are required to complete a volunteer application process and undergo a national criminal background check in accordance with the Child Protection Policy of Child Evangelism Fellowship, Inc.
In today's society child abuse and child abuse accusations are occurring daily. Therefore it is important that CEF® takes steps to protect the children to whom we minister and protect our workers from false accusations.
There are three parts to the volunteer approval process. All three steps are required to be completed before you can serve in a CEF ministry. Here are the three parts:
1. Volunteer application
2. Interview and Photo ID Check (completed by your Team Leader for Good News Club volunteers)
3. Quick Start Training (for Good News Club volunteers and teachers of party clubs)
For Good News Club volunteers, once all of these parts are completed and you are approved, you will be issued a Good News Club (GNC) name tag, from our office, with the current year, to indicate you have undergone the necessary screening. It is essential that you wear this name tag when you serve at a GNC.

Do not complete this process if you are a continuing volunteer (active within the last calendar year and have had a background check with CEF within 5 years). Complete the annual Worker’s Compliance Agreement instead.

A few important notes before you begin the online application:
- The system will time-out after approximately 10 minutes of no activity.
- The application/screening process must be completed in 30 minutes or less.
- If you experience problems with the driver’s license fields, they may be skipped.
- If you receive a message related to being under the age of 18, click OK, as long as you have your
parent’s approval to volunteer with CEF. - The SSN field is required, but we don’t actually need it since you’re a minor. We will not run a background check. So you may just enter all zeros for your SSN, if you prefer.
