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 more than (3) hours a month or who works with children more frequently than once a month should comply with the diocesan policy.  It does not include the occasional volunteer such as a driver or chaperone for individual activities. (Decree on Child Protection, B.5) 3/2007
