Background Checks

At the Downtown Sailing Center, we're committed to maintaining the trust and safety of our community. We want our participants, volunteers, and supporters to feel safe, valued, and confident in the care we provide. To help ensure this, all volunteers working with youth or individuals with disabilities are required to complete a background check.

Your safety and privacy are also important to us. All information gathered through the background check remains confidential and is securely handled by both the Downtown Sailing Center and our partner, Coeus Global.

Please note: Even if you've completed a background check for your employer or another organization, you'll still need to complete our quick and easy background check for our records. It's free to you, and you only need to do it once.

How to Complete Your Background Check

The process takes about 5 minutes. The DSC covers the full cost ($21.95), but if you'd like to donate the cost back to us, you'll have that option when completing the process online.

You'll Need

• Your Social Security Number or government-issued ID (e.g., Passport, State ID)
• A device with internet access

Go to the Coeus Global website to begin your background check and follow the simple steps provided.

Thank you for taking this step to support our Accessible and Outreach Programs. If you have any questions about the process, feel free to reach out to us at info@downtownsailing.org.
