Step 1: Organization Pre-screen
Step 2: Program Pre-screen
Once Organization Pre-Screen process is complete, submit one Program Pre-screening form for each program.
(Access to this link will be denied until your Organization is approved.)
An Organization and its Program(s) that successfully pass the pre-screening process will be listed on the Organization Database. Only the organizations listed on the Organization Database will be permitted to book school space through the
next step.
Step 3: School Access
An agency can make a request to offer their programs and services to a specific school through the “School Request” section on the Access Form. Booking space
in a school requires completing one form per program per school.
