complete VIRTUS Protecting Youth training through the diocese

How Can I Volunteer?

Adult Crew Member

Each small group of 12 high school students is led by 2–3 adults (age 21+) and 3–4 college-age young adults. These groups work together during the day and participate in activities at night. New volunteers are always paired with seasoned leaders.

Adult crew leaders are responsible for worksite safety and ensuring the work gets done. Since high school students are not permitted on extension ladders, adults and college leaders handle all "up high" work — though not every site requires ladder work.

Driver

Our adult drivers' main role is to shuttle participants to the worksite in the mornings, to shower locations in the afternoon, and back to the parish after participants are finished showering. Depending on the year, we may also need drivers to help transport participants to and from our social night activity if it doesn't take place on the parish campus.

This is an easy way to volunteer your time if you can't commit to helping lead a crew.
