Volunteer
Volunteers are important to the school and add an important supportive dimension to our programs. Unless otherwise cleared, all volunteers must be at least 21 years of age. There are two steps that potential volunteers must take prior to being able to become a volunteer.
1. Obtain Department of Justice and FBI Fingerprint Clearances
All volunteers must be cleared by the live scan fingerprint process through the specific school site in which they wish to volunteer. This applies to everyone even if fingerprinted through a public school or a police or fire department. Please come to the main office to request the fingerprint form and the location of nearby sites. The cost is incurred by the individual. If you have live scan clearance through another school in the Diocese of San Bernardino, please come to the office to obtain a transfer form. Cleared parish volunteers may need to repeat the clearance process.
2. Submit the Safe Environment Training Certificate of Completion
Bring in the certificate of completion to the main office. This training is no cost and can be done on line following the instructions stated below.
From any computer with internet access, use the Diocese of San Bernardino web site to log onto the safe environment training. Set aside time to complete the training, then
a. Go to http://www.sbdiocese.org
b. At the top of the home page click onto the link labeled Protecting Children
c. Once there, click onto the box labeled click here to begin Safe Environment Training
d. Follow directions to complete the training
e. Print out the certificate and bring in a copy to the school. A copy will be retained at the school and another is automatically submitted on-line to the Office of Charter Initiatives.
We appreciate the time you have taken to become a volunteer.
