Fingerprint Locations
All mentors must be fingerprinted as part of our background investigation. Please email the mentor coordinator, SFC Gonzalez, if you have questions about something that might appear on a report at fgonzalez@mygya.com.
Due to COVID-19, you must have the live scan done in your community. We send out live scan forms to mentors as soon as the students are accepted into the program. Click here to find a location for Live Scan services in your community.
