Volunteering

Requirements

All Volunteers:

The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis requires three things for volunteers who work with students in Catholic schools or parishes. In compliance, BSM also requires these three things of our volunteers who work with or chaperone students:

1. Attend a Virtus awareness session. Sessions are offered at various times, days and locations (Visit the Virtus website for a list of sessions). Then, submit our online Volunteer Form.
2. Successfully complete a background check. A volunteer packet should be completed and returned to Shané Sisco in BSM's Finance/HR Department.
3. Sign a Volunteer Code of Conduct form, which is included in the online Volunteer Form.

These three things are part of the Protection of Youth and Children Initiative which has been mandated by the Archdiocese. The reason for this mandate is connected to the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People (the full text of this document can be found at www.usccb.org/ocyp/charter.shtml) which was written by our United States Catholic bishops. Essentially the Bishops want to do everything they can to create the safest possible environment for our children and youth. Your help in this endeavor is greatly appreciated. Please visit the Archdiocesan Web site at www.archspm.org/pcyi for more information. If your questions are not addressed there, please contact Dr. Sue Skinner, Senior High Principal.
