You are ready to begin!

You should have received an email from your FCA Representative with a link to the VIP portal and the specific FCA Program that you will be volunteering for. If you don't have the link you can search in the toolbar for your program in the portal.

1. Create an account

"Login with FCA Account." Then on the next page, click the "Create an account" link under "Need an FCA Account?"

2. Registration:

• Fill out personal information
• Be prepared to give 4 references (we recommend also contacting these references to prepare them for the incoming email)
• For minors you will be prompted to request parental consent. Please remind your parents to check their email. 
• Complete the FCA Statement of Faith and Christian Community Statement Read the statement carefully and respond to it as instructed. Make sure you save responses
• Fill out your Spiritual Questionnaire: These are questions about your spiritual beliefs and your relationship with Christ. Make sure you save your responses.
• Sign Waivers: You must check the first box to agree to and adopt this digital signature.
• Adult or Student Permission Waivers
• Agree to Athlete Safety Policy
• For applicants over 18, Give permission for Asurint to preform a background check: upon completion of this section an email with a link from noreply@asurint.com will be sent to you to complete. Please take 5-10 minutes and promptly complete it. It is a time sensitive link.

**You can pause your journey at anytime. Make sure to save your progress. When you log back in, return to the dashboard and click the green “Journey Progress” button. This button will outline the steps required to complete your onboarding journey.**

3. Complete Your Required Training

Your account dashboard will show a list of the training courses you are required to complete.  The number of required training programs is dependent on the role you are applying for.

After completing each training program, return to your dashboard for instructions on the next required course.

• Please note that Child Abuse Prevention Training is mandatory for all applicants. This training is part of FCA’s national application process. Because state requirements for mandated reporters (such as teachers and coaches) vary, FCA has implemented a standardized training program for all volunteers. While we recognize that Pennsylvania mandated reporters are already required by state law to complete abuse prevention training, FCA requires every volunteer (regardless of state)to complete the FCA Abuse Prevention Program as part of the application process. Please be sure to click on the button at the end of the video to confirm that you have completed the video. This is a commonly missed step.

Frequently return to the dashboard for your next steps.

4. Gather your PA Volunteer Required Clearances

As you complete your required training programs, please ensure your PA Volunteer Clearances are up to date (issued within the past 5 years). If not, you’ll need to complete new background checks so we can file them with our other volunteer records.

These clearances include:

•  PA Child Abuse
• PA Criminal
• FBI Fingerprint Clearance (or disclosure)

See instructions on how to obtain these clearances through the link on the button.

Send all three documents to your FCA Representative once you have received them.

5. Finalize

• Confirm that you have completed all the required tasks on your dashboard
• Notify  your FCA Representative that you have completed the VIP Journey
• Send your FCA Representative all three of your PA State Volunteer Clearances

Thank You!
