Safe Environment / Volunteering

Thank you for your interest in serving Children & Vulnerable Adults at St. Clare of Assisi in the Archdiocese of St. Louis! Before you can minister/volunteer/coach*, you will need to be in
compliance with our Safe Environment Program. There are
three steps* you will need to complete in order to be in compliance:

1. Attend a Protecting God’s Children / Vulnerable Adults workshop.
You will need to register for a workshop by going to: http://www.virtusonline.org/virtus/reg_list2.cfm?theOrgID=14498&theme=0 

→Protecting God’s Children. When you click at Protecting God’s Children, the list of workshops will appear. Find a workshop that will work for you and write down the date. Then scroll back up to the top and click “Start Registration” to begin the registration process. It is very quick and easy! It will ask you which workshop you want to attend.
