The existing members of KAMO are a smaller core group of people who have known each other for a long time, often decades. The parents/ guardians of the participating children may often know one or more mentors in their chapter up front because of KAMO’s more rural/ small town composition.

The KAMO group employs a background check service – currently Intellicorp, that screens our applicants. Each chapter has a security officer who works with that service.

Each of KAMO’s mentors have undergone an initial background check and then have a recheck every five years.

The current back ground check bundle KAMO is using (through Intellicorp) includes:

• SSN verification
• Address history (7 years)
• Government sanctions
• A complete state/ county Criminal Background Check
• National Sex Offender Registry
• Department of Corrections

 

Many of KAMO’s volunteer mentors may work with kids in isolation during hunting activities, such as our annual deer hunt in Poynette. This deer hunt features a Learn To Hunt component -a state program for novice deer hunters. Volunteers involved in a Learn To Hunt are required to go through a second background screening – the state of Wisconsin’s “Mentor Background for Educational Outdoor Skills Program”. This certifies them through the state as volunteers eligible to mentor through the state’s Learn To Hunt Program.
