Checks {Board Members / Volunteers}
Our best wishes for a very Happy &
Prosperous New Year !! The backbone of the Woodbridge Fathers
Baseball League {WFBL} is the adult volunteer,
dedicated people like yourself serve diligently on our Board of
Directors and manage / coach our Teams year after year.
However, we
fully understand that the greatest treasures we have are our children.
As adults, we must ensure that these young people grow up happy, healthy
and above all, safe. Whether they are our children, or the children of
others, each of us has an utmost responsibility to protect them. They
are our future and an endless source of joy.
Like many national youth organizations, the WFBL seeks to
attract the most qualified volunteers to administer our local program.
At the same time, we must be aware that this could make us a target for
child abusers. The WFBL is dedicated to educate its
children and volunteers in ways to prevent child abusers from becoming
involved in our League. One of these preventions is to conduct
background checks.
The purpose of these background checks is, first and foremost, to
protect our children. Second, they maintain the WFBL as a
hostile environment for those who would seek to do harm. Third, they
help protect local Leagues like the WFBL and individuals
from possible loss of personal or League assets because of litigation.
Failure to complete and submit the Volunteer Application Form by those
required by the WFBL to do so will result in being barred
from any involvement in the WFBL. All volunteers must
understand that the ONLY losers in this new
initiative will be those who would prey on our most precious resource.
Your utmost cooperation is certainly appreciated.
