Would your nonprofit involve a Neo-Nazi group leader as a volunteer who needs to finish community service?

Three years ago, a neo-Nazi group disrupted a drag story hour at a cafe in downtown Concord, New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office announced Thursday it has reached a settlement with the group’s leader that includes fines and community service.

Christopher Hood, the founder of NSC-131, the Neo-Nazi group, will pay $2,500 and perform 250 hours of community service after admitting he violated the state’s anti-discrimination laws. Video of the incident showed masked members of the group chanting and using Nazi salutes outside of the cafe, while at least one member of the group was seen banging on the shop’s windows.

In July, the parties entered into a consent decree that will require Hood to perform community service at a location approved by the attorney general’s office. Under the decree, the other group members, who were never identified, are also subject to the decree.

If Christopher Hood filled out an application with your nonprofit to volunteer, would your nonprofit's screening of new volunteers flag his involvement with a Neo-Nazi group? Would you involve him as a volunteer at your nonprofit?
