Application to Volunteer
and
Police Vulnerable Sector Check
The Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE) is a central referral and screening agency for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB).
Please go to the ONFE Volunteer Website for the online application.Your application will be processed when ONFE receives your Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC) and when your two references from your application are checked and approved.
Procedures for a
Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC):
Volunteers must have a positive Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC) on file with ONFE prior to volunteering.
Once complete, you submit your Police Vulnerable Sector Check to ONFE and bring a copy to the Le Phare school office.
ONFE will issue you a volunteer letter during the application process. You use this to get your Police Records Check (for free).

All aspects of the process, including verification of identification and fee payment (if applicable), are handled electronically.
