Volunteer Requirements
It is a Diocesan and Parish requirement that we perform background checks on all our volunteers working with children. We also ensure compliance with USSCB child protection guidelines under the Charter of the Protection of Children through an annual audit.
NOTE:
All volunteers 18+ are required to submit Diocesan paperwork and a background check.
Returning volunteers are also required to complete Diocesan updated paperwork.
Student volunteers (Grades 9-12) do not need to do this requirement.
For any questions about the OPCYP Diocesan Requirements, please contact our Parish Liaison: Fania Jimenez at fjimenez@nativityburke.org
