Volunteer as Mandatory Reporter

A volunteer shall make a report of suspected child abuse if the volunteer has reasonable cause to suspect that a child is a victim of child abuse and the volunteer is an integral part of a regularly scheduled program, activity, or service and is a person responsible for the child's welfare or has direct contact with the children.
