Thanks so much for reaching out about volunteering with St. Ann Children & Youth (for Children’s Ministry, Middle School Ministry or High School Ministry)! Below are some important steps that are required to become “cleared” to serve our children and youth.

RETURNING / CURRENT VOLUNTEERS:

After your initial onboarding as a volunteer in St. Ann Children & Youth, you will need to annually renew your Safe Environment certification by either attending the annual in-person training at St. Ann OR by completing the VIRTUS online safe environment training course.

• If you attended the annual in-person training, HOORAY! Your clearance status is being updated and you are all set!

• If you did NOT attend the in-person training, you must access the online renewal training by emailing our Safe Environment Coordinator Veronica Biglen your contact info by clicking here:

FINAL DETAILS

1. Before being considered “Cleared” to volunteer, we will need to complete a "New Group Leader/Core Member Interview”. It takes about 25 minutes and it’s a great way for us to get to know each other. We will contact you to set up an interview time!

2. All volunteers must be registered at St. Ann (or another Catholic parish). If you are not registered at St. Ann, please request a letter of Good Standing from your previous parish and have it sent to Nikki Scancella (Sunday School), Meredith Halsey and Diego Lozano (St. Ann Kids), Mo Bass (MSM) or Brisa Solis (HSM). If you choose not to register at St. Ann, we will need a new letter of good standing from your parish each year.

   ***IMPORTANT: When registering to become a St. Ann parishioner, be sure to check the box at the end that says “Create an Account”. This will create a MyStAnn profile for you and this allows us to ASSIGN YOU AS A SMALL GROUP LEADER within our youth ministry.

If you are having difficulty with any of these steps, please Email Traci Hall and include your name and phone number.
