Subject: New LA Opera Requirements for Volunteers
Dear Opera League Volunteers,
We are so grateful for the efforts and passion that you put forth as you spread your love and knowledge of opera, especially to children and youth. In order to continue this outreach to young people, LA Opera now requires that any volunteer who works with children or youth on behalf of LA Opera or the Opera League gets fingerprinted and TB-tested whether you work with children at schools, in the community or here at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
To this purpose, we are having a fingerprinting vendor come to campus on Monday, November 29th from 9:30-11:30am in Rehearsal Room 2 on the 4th floor of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Even if you have fingerprints on file with another agency, you must be fingerprinted again for our programs. The cost to the volunteer is $71 and you can pay at that time by cash, money orders, cashier checks or business checks payable to Federal Fingerprinting, Inc. They do not accept personal checks or credit cards. At this time, you will need to fill out the attached "Live Scan Form" (copies will be available in the rehearsal room). You will also need to bring a valid government-issued ID. To participate in the fingerprinting service, please RSVP to Kelly Christ in Human Resources by email (kchrist@laopera.com) or telephone (213.972.3140) by Wednesday, November 24th at 12 noon.
We have also made contact with US Healthworks who will be providing TB skin tests at the cost of $20 to volunteers. To get TB tested you can visit any of their Los Angeles area clinics. You just need to walk-in during that clinic's regular hours and present them with the attached "US Healthworks TB Authorization Form." They will give you the test and require that you visit them again in 3 days time for a reading.
The US Healthworks downtown clinic is located at 1313 West 8th Street Suite 100, Los Angeles, CA 90017. They are open from Monday through Friday from 7:00am - 4:00pm and on Saturday from 7:00am - 1:00pm. If necessary, you can reach them at (213) 401-1970.
Please note that there may be a clinic closer to your home. To find a clinic near you, you can visit their website at www.ushealthworks.com. Next click, "Find a Medical Center" and select "California" from the drop-down menu. You can then enter your address and click "Search." Now click on the location nearest to you and their address, office hours, contact numbers and more information will be at your fingertips.
You may also visit your own doctor for a TB test. Be sure to send written evidence that you tested negative to LA Opera's Human Resources Department (Attn: Kelly Christ, LA Opera, 135 North Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012). If you tested negative within the past six months, you may send that written evidence to LA Opera HR instead.
Please note that if you choose not to get fingerprinted or TB tested you can still volunteer for many LA Opera and Opera League activities. However, as of December 1st, 2010, LA Opera and the Opera League will only assign volunteers to make school visits or participate in other activities involving children to those volunteers who have completed these new requirements. You will be eligible for assignments involving children as soon as:
a.. You have been fingerprinted by our vendor (and cleared with California's Dept. of Justice and the FBI)
b.. AND you have provided LA Opera's HR department with proof of a negative TB test
If you are not able to complete these tasks before December 1st, you will be eligible to volunteer in activities involving children just as soon as these tasks are finalized.
If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Christ in LA Opera Human Resources by email (kchrist@laopera.com) or telephone (213.972.3140).
Thanks again for giving so much of your time, energy and spirit to young people on behalf of LA Opera!
Best,
Kelly

Good point.
This is part of something I first noted in 2002: the rise of "pay to volunteer" "opportunities."
Which means that volunteering has taken on some sort of class clout: only those who can afford its costs (!) will be called.
I noticed it when I was applying to college and it seemed as though more and more students were spending months if not years on volunteering activities to, say, get into med school (something I was never interested in). I called it cheap labor, and student exploitation (oh, angry youth!).
Now I tell my students about it: its implications for class reproduction.
Did you know, for example, that the Canadian Embassy in San Francisco has unpaid year-long internships?
Appalling.
Yet some, like Seth Godin (http://www.sethgodin.com/sg/), celebrate this trend. Kids get to "prove" their worth to companies before being hired.

written evidence that you tested negative to LA Opera's Human
Resources
Department (Attn: Kelly Christ, LA Opera, 135 North Grand Ave, Los
Angeles, CA 90012). If you tested negative within the past six months,
you may send that written evidence to LA Opera HR instead.
Please note that if you choose not to get fingerprinted or TB tested
you
can still volunteer for many LA Opera and Opera League activities.
However, as of December 1st, 2010, LA Opera and the Opera League will
only assign volunteers to make school visits or participate in other
activities involving children to those volunteers who have completed
these new requirements. You will be eligible for assignments involving
children as soon as:
a.. You have been fingerprinted by our vendor (and cleared with
California's Dept. of Justice and the FBI)
b.. AND you have provided LA Opera's HR department with proof of a
negative TB test
If you are not able to complete these tasks before December 1st, you
will be eligible to volunteer in activities involving children just as
soon as these tasks are finalized.
If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Christ in LA Opera
Human
Resources by email (kchrist@laopera.com) or telephone (213.972.3140).
Thanks again for giving so much of your time, energy and spirit to
young
people on behalf of LA Opera!

Hi everyone,
Can't help but chime in, with my own anecdote to add to Elise's and Charlie's observations.
A youth soccer association asks coaches to pay this fee for themselves as a charitable donation to the organization. Unbelievable enough, right? But what I really could not believe was when I saw a footnote that "scholarships" would be available to fund the cost for volunteers who could not afford it -- if they could produce evidence of need. So now, poorer coaches could either choose to quietly stop being involved, or willingly embarass themselves even further by proving they couldn't even afford to volunteer.
Some of us like the idea of "doing with" way more than the idea of "doing for." A litigious system driven by fear of strangers having contact with our children makes it harder than ever to work side by side even in sports. And it can only add to the perception that the poorest among us are just taking, not giving, even when it comes to sports.
Ugh.
Chris

Good point.
This is part of something I first noted in 2002: the rise of
"pay to volunteer" "opportunities."
Which means that volunteering has taken on some sort of class
clout: only those who can afford its costs (!) will be called.
I noticed it when I was applying to college and it seemed as
though more and more students were spending months if not years
on volunteering activities to, say, get into med school
(something I was never interested in). I called it cheap labor,
and student exploitation (oh, angry youth!).
Now I tell my students about it: its implications for class
reproduction.
Did you know, for example, that the Canadian Embassy in San
Francisco has unpaid year-long internships?
Appalling.
Yet some, like Seth Godin (http://www.sethgodin.com/sg/),
celebrate this trend. Kids get to "prove" their worth to
companies before being hired.

Dear Opera League Volunteers,
We are so grateful for the efforts and passion that you
put forth as
you
spread your love and knowledge of opera, especially to
children and
youth. In order to continue this outreach to young
people, LA Opera
now
requires that any volunteer who works with children or
youth on behalf
of LA Opera or the Opera League gets fingerprinted and TB-
tested>>> whether
you work with children at schools, in the community or
here at the
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
To this purpose, we are having a fingerprinting vendor
come to campus
on
Monday, November 29th from 9:30-11:30am in Rehearsal Room
2 on the 4th
floor of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Even if you have
fingerprints>>> on
file with another agency, you must be fingerprinted again
for our
programs. The cost to the volunteer is $71 and you can
pay at that
time
by cash, money orders, cashier checks or business checks
payable to
Federal Fingerprinting, Inc. They do not accept personal
checks or
credit cards. At this time, you will need to fill out the
attached>>> "Live
Scan Form" (copies will be available in the rehearsal
room). You will
also need to bring a valid government-issued ID. To
participate in the
fingerprinting service, please RSVP to Kelly Christ in
Human Resources
by email (kchrist@laopera.com) or telephone
(213.972.3140) by
Wednesday,
November 24th at 12 noon.
We have also made contact with US Healthworks who will be
providing TB
skin tests at the cost of $20 to volunteers. To get TB
tested you can
visit any of their Los Angeles area clinics. You just
need to walk-in
during that clinic's regular hours and present them with
the attached
"US Healthworks TB Authorization Form." They will give
you the test
and
require that you visit them again in 3 days time for a reading.
The US Healthworks downtown clinic is located at 1313
West 8th Street
Suite 100, Los Angeles, CA 90017. They are open from
Monday through
Friday from 7:00am - 4:00pm and on Saturday from 7:00am -
1:00pm. If
necessary, you can reach them at (213) 401-1970.
Please note that there may be a clinic closer to your
home. To find a
clinic near you, you can visit their website at
www.ushealthworks.com.>>>> Next click, "Find a Medical Center"
and select "California" from the
drop-down menu. You can then enter your address and click
"Search.">>> Now
click on the location nearest to you and their address,
office hours,
contact numbers and more information will be at your
fingertips.>>>>

Yes, this is reactionary criminal law leaving behind the principles of
criminal law or so I learned in legal studies recently. Very rare crimes big
response.
That said, we at Computers for Communities in Ottawa Canada ask our
volunteers to have a police background check as we worked out of the Ottawa
Boys and Girls club boiler room for our first computer refurbishing workshop
this past year. I am, in fact, volunteering to write our police records
check policy.
I have been fingerprinted to volunteer at the Canadian Museum of Nature. I
have also consented to a background records check to volunteer in Victim's
services.
I have one book that covers Police Records Checks from the field of managing
volunteers and have attended workshops on the subject.
Think of coaching Hockey? There are whole courses on speaking up about child
abuse one must study to qualify to coach your kid's team.
So I agree with others that this is the norm these days.

The issue of "pay to volunteer" is of course multiplied at least 10 fold and
perhaps more in the area of civil society particularly international civil
society where participation in civil society activities is usually
understood to be done on a user pays principle which generally involves
travel to exotic and expensive locations (the kind that paid for
bureaucrats, corporate flacks, and academics would find appealing)

same here in australia.
volunteering - in my case, to a federally-funded program, where
volunteers make regular visits to the homes of migrants who want to
improve their english (but for whatever reason cannot come to a
class) - necessitated a police background check.
this was free, and i needed to tick a box, sign the form and provide
photo ID....i'm guessing the police check involved nothing more than
seeing whether i'd been ever convicted of a crime...
if they had required finger-printing, however, i might have decided
not to volunteer on principle.
