If you are 18 or older and want to serve as Team on a SEARCH, the Diocese of Fargo requires a few things done prior to being allowed to attend. Both the 1) Background Check and 2) Code of Conduct must be completed 2 weeks prior to serving on a weekend. You can download and print both documents and return them or email them as a pdf (no cell phone pictures of them) to Jim and Dori Picard. Their address can be found here.
1. A Background Check: Download, complete and send in the Authorization for Background Check form to Jim and Dori Picard as soon as possible so the background check will have time to process.
2. Read the Code of Conduct: This is a one-time requirement of the diocese (unless something changes in it, then you will be notified you have to read it again). Please print out, sign, and return the last page that states you have read the Code of Conduct. SEARCH only needs the signature page (the last page) returned.
Both the 1) Background Check and 2) Code of Conduct must be completed 2 weeks prior to serving on a weekend. Please print, fill out, and return the two forms to Jim and Dori Picard as soon as you are accepted onto the weekend (no cell phone pictures of the forms)
3. “Circle of Care” Video: The video will be played on Thursday at 5:45 p.m. at Maryvale. If this time does not work with your schedule, you need to contact SEARCH well in advance to make other arrangements.
