be completed in the state(s) in which the individual resided for at least 6 months in the last 5 years and was 18 years
old or older at the time.
The criminal background check is done through the Wisconsin Criminal Investigation Bureau, and statewide public
records are searched for criminal convictions. Results of the check will be disclosed to any individual before being
submitted to any outside individual or agency.
A.W.E. follows federal and state law and does not discriminate based on the results of the check unless there is a
clear relationship between the criminal offense discovered and the nature of the volunteer or paid work to be
performed.
