One-on-One

Camp Reynal, with the help of volunteers like you, strives to offer each camper the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop a new sense of self-confidence. Some campers, however, may have special needs and require a little extra attention and assistance. Such campers will be assigned to a one-on-one counselor to ensure a fun and safe week. The one-on-one counselor will be primarily focused on the assigned camper for the duration of the week. This role will require patience and will be great for any counselors that are up to the challenge.

EMPLOYEE AND VOLUNTEER APPLICANT BACKGROUND CHECK DISCLOSURE & CONSENT FORM

As an individual providing or applying to provide services as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, volunteer or other capacity, with National Kidney Foundation dba Camp Reynal, you are advised that National Kidney Foundation dba Camp Reynal, Inc. (the "Camp") may contact the Social Security Administration, another governmental agency or other parties directly or through a third party to verify the Social Security Number and certain other information as part of its verification of your eligibility and suitability to provide services as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, volunteer or in any other capacity.

In addition, the Camp may obtain a consumer report or otherwise check other background information about you to confirm your identity and eligibility for employment or for other employment or business purposes.

The Camp may also obtain a reference check on you for purposes of determining your suitability to perform services or serve in some other capacity, as we deem appropriate, in our exclusive discretion. The reference check, also referred to as an investigative consumer report, may include information about your character, general reputation, personal characteristics, identity, eligibility for employment in the United States, mode of living, criminal background, and other matters that we deem relevant to your eligibility and suitability for employment with the Camp.

As a condition of the Camp's consideration of you for prospective or continued eligibility to provide services as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, volunteer, or other capacity, the Camp requires that you give us written authorization to conduct this investigation including obtaining a background report on you (specifically, a consumer report and/or an investigative consumer report).

If the Camp elects to secure an investigation report, the Fair Credit Reporting Act may, under certain circumstances, provide you with the right to request, in writing within a reasonable amount of time, a disclosure of the nature and the scope of the investigative report. If required to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the disclosure shall be made in writing and mailed, or otherwise delivered to you no later than 5 days after the date on which your request is received or 5 days after the date on which the report was first requested, whichever is later. You may also request a Summary of Your Consumer Rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act as prepared by the Federal Trade Commission. These can be obtained at no charge.

To obtain a disclosure of the nature and the scope of the investigative report about you, if any, run by the Camp, please provide us a written request. To obtain a Summary of Your Consumer Rights, simply let us know in your letter that you would like a copy.

I acknowledge that I have received this disclosure and I authorize the Camp and its affiliates, agents, successors and assigns to conduct an investigative consumer report and criminal background check for employment, volunteer, consulting, independent contractor or other purposes and consent to allow the Camp to contact the Social Security Administration or other governmental agencies to verify my Social Security Number and any other information that it deems relevant to verify my eligibility and suitability to provide or continue to provide services as an employee, volunteer, contractor or other capacity for the Camp.

A SUMMARY OF YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT

 

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is designed to promote accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of every "consumer reporting agency" (CRA). Most CRAs are credit bureaus that gather and sell information about you -- such as if you pay your bills on time or have filed bankruptcy -- to creditors, employers, landlords, and other businesses. You can find the complete text of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. §§168l and following 168u, at the Federal Trade Commission's web site (http://www.ftc.gov). The FCRA gives you specific rights, as outlined below. You may have additional rights under state law. You may contact a state or local consumer protection agency or a state attorney general to learn those rights.

You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses information from a CRA to take action against you -- such as denying an application for credit, insurance, or employment -- must tell you, and give you the name, address, and phone number of the CRA that provided the consumer report.

You can find out what is in your file. At your request, a CRA must give you the information in your file, and a list of everyone who has requested it recently. There is no charge for the report if a person has taken action against you because of information supplied by the CRA, if you request the report within 60 days of receiving notice of the action. You also are entitled to one free report every twelve months upon request if you certify that (1) you are unemployed and plan to seek employment within 60 days, (2) you are on welfare, or (3) your report is inaccurate due to fraud. Otherwise, a CRA may charge you up to eight dollars.

You can dispute inaccurate information with the CRA. If you tell a CRA that your file contains inaccurate information, the CRA must investigate the items (usually within 30 days) by presenting to its information source all relevant evidence you submit, unless your dispute is frivolous. The source must review your evidence and report its findings to the CRA. (The source also must advise national CRAs -- to which it has provided the data -- of any error.) The CRA must give you a written report of the investigation, and a copy of your report if the investigation results in any change. If the CRA's investigation does not resolve the dispute, you may add a brief statement to your file. The CRA must normally include a summary of your statement in future reports. If an item is deleted or a dispute statement is filed, you may ask that anyone who has recently received your report be notified of the change.

Inaccurate information must be corrected or deleted. A CRA must remove or correct inaccurate or unverified information from its files, usually within 30 days after you dispute it. However, the CRA is not required to remove accurate data from your file unless it is outdated (as described below) or cannot be verified. If your dispute results in any change to your report, the CRA cannot reinsert into your file a disputed item unless the information source verifies its accuracy and completeness. In addition, the CRA must give you a written notice telling you it has reinserted the item. The notice must include the name, address and phone number of the information source.

You can dispute inaccurate items with the source of the information. If you tell anyone -- such as a creditor who reports to a CRA -- that you dispute an item, they may not then report the information to a CRA without including a notice of your dispute. In addition, once you've notified the source of the error in writing, it may not continue to report the information if it is, in fact, an error.
Outdated information may not be reported. In most cases, a CRA may not report negative information that is more than seven years old; ten years for bankruptcies.

Access to your file is limited. A CRA may provide information about you only to people with a need recognized by the FCRA -- usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer, employer, landlord, or other business.
Your consent is required for reports that are provided to employers, or reports that contact medical information. A CRA may not give out information about you to your employer, or prospective employer, without your written consent. A CRA may not report medical information about you to creditors, insurers, or employers without your permission.

You may choose to exclude your name from CRA lists for unsolicited credit and insurance offers. Creditors and insurers may use file information as the basis for sending you unsolicited offers of credit or insurance. Such offers must include a toll-free phone number for you to call if you want your name and address removed from future lists. If you call, you must be kept off the lists for two years. If you request, complete, and return the CRA form provided for this purpose, you must be taken off the lists indefinitely.

You may seek damages from violators. If a CRA, users or (in some cases) a provider of CRA data, violates the FCRA, you may sue them in state or federal court.
