We are unable to fully approve a renewing 2027 Leader or Screened Volunteer application within our system if the Criminal Record Check we have on file for you expires within 90 days of your application date. If your CRC was submitted to us during 2023 or 2024, a new CRC application may need to be submitted to allow for your enrolment application to be fully approved. If your CRC is due to expire at any point during 2027, a new CRC application will need to be completed prior to expiration in order to continue working with Youth as a Leader or Screened Volunteer.

CRC’s on file with 4-H BC expire 3 years past the date of issue as per the 4-H Canada Youth Safety Policy. Please submit a new CRC application prior to the 2027 enrolment season to help expedite your enrolment approval at https://justice.gov.bc.ca/screening/crrpa/org-access using access code TKQBNP6P6M

DescripThe 4-H Canada Youth Safety Policy requires Trained Leaders to complete a Youth Safety Refresher Course every three years. If your CRC must be renewed, your Youth Safety Refresher Training likely needs to be completed as well. You can find the access link to this course here: Leader Training — 4-H British Columbia
