How to Become a Volunteer

Welcome Volunteers!

Archdiocesan Volunteer Requirements to Provide a Safe Environment

All volunteers who have regular or unsupervised contact with minors and/or vulnerable adults must complete the “Essential 3” requirements:

  • VIRTUS Safe Environment training is a three hour awareness session which better equips adults to protect children in the world around them. VIRTUS sessions are ongoing and are scheduled at parishes throughout the Archdiocese.
  • Background Check – In order to protect those whom we serve, volunteers, including, but not limited to, those who have regular or unsupervised contact with minors, must undergo a criminal background check.
  • Code of Conduct – Archdiocesan Code of Conduct for volunteers, promulgated in 2007 and updated in 2015, establishes standards of ministerial behavior and appropriate boundaries for volunteers who have regular or unsupervised contact with minors.

 

Brand New Volunteer: To register to become an approved volunteer (request a background check, sign the Code of Conduct, register for a Virtus class), visitwww.virtus.org and click on Registration, then 'Begin the Registration Process'. Here are instructions to assist you.

 

Current Volunteer: To update the Essential 3, visit www.virtus.org and log-in using the login and password created the first time you registered with virtus.org.
