Certifications:

	I certify that my mentoring organization ultimately bears full responsibility for the screening of mentors and the placement of mentors in the most suitable roles. MENTOR is not in any way liable for any screening decisions that anyone in my organization makes about a volunteer's status based on information obtained in the SafetyNET pilot program.

	I understand that, based upon criminal history record information held by the FBI, a determination will be rendered exclusively by NCMEC as to a volunteer's fitness to serve in a mentor capacity. Neither NCMEC nor MENTOR are liable for any screening decisions that a mentoring organization makes about a volunteer's status based on information obtained in the SafetyNET pilot.

	By applying to participate in the pilot program, I certify that I, and my mentoring organization, understand and accept the terms contained within the SafetyNET Manual, including any disclaimers of liability on the part of MENTOR.
