Process:

1. Anyone interested in volunteering at St. George Catholic School should submit their contact information below to complete the pre-check process for child protection. 
2. You will then be emailed a special code and directed to the CAPS website where you will create a new user account as a volunteer for St.George School and complete the Serving Vulnerable Populations online video.
3. The email will also include the other requirements for the certification process (a background check at IdentoGO, a declaration form and privacy pages).

"SERVICE IN GOD’S NAME” (SIGN) is a community service program required for middle school students at St. George. The community service requirement was developed to help students become aware of and involved in their community. The community at-large offers students a variety of placements for which they can volunteer while learning about the needs, concerns, and challenges existing in their community. It is our hope that this initial experience will spark an interest in our students to continue pursuing community projects.
