Become a volunteer for Gettysburg Community Theatre and start making a difference today — get started below.

To volunteer at GCT, you must have the 2 PA State Background Checks completed and turned into GCT before your first volunteer shift. They are FREE for volunteers.

MANDATORY BACKGROUND CHECKS (for ages 18+)

Two PA background checks are required by PA law and the Board Of Directors for all volunteers ages 18+ and all parents at GCT. You will need to get these in process online immediately as it may take up to two weeks for you to receive your clearances back and you will need them in order to participate here.

They are FREE for volunteers in PA.

Below are the two links to get them. You do not need an organizational code, but you will have to create a Keystone ID.

The clearances are good for five years. You will need both clearances. They will send you the certificates and you will print and bring them to rehearsal or download and email them to us directly if you don't have a printer.  If you already have these from work, etc we just need a copy of them for our files. If we have your clearances from a recent show, we will let you know when they are expired.
