Volunteer Policy – VIRTUS, Archdiocesan Decree on Child Protection

According to the Archdiocesan Decree on Child Protection, all regular volunteers need to be fingerprinted (BCII and/or FBI background check) and attend the VIRTUS: Protecting God’s Children Orientation. A “regular volunteer” as defined by the Decree means a catechist, scout leader, coach, server coordinator, etc. who functions in a regular, significant relationship with children. This includes interns, student teachers, and others in a similar capacity.  Moreover, any volunteer who works with children should comply with the diocesan policy. (Decree on Child Protection, B.5) 3/2007
