Arkansas Extension is pulling a state criminal check in addition to the youth maltreatment check for 4-H volunteers (program pays), but we pull only the free youth maltreatment check for Master Gardner volunteers who are actively working with youth on a regular basis.

If you are pulling a check, more specifically, I am looking to see if so are you building the cost into the program cost? Thank you!
