At St. Clare of Assisi there are many opportunities to volunteer your time and energy.  We need your help in many ways throughout the school year.  Click on the 'How to Volunteer' link on the right side of this page to learn more about how you can get involved. 

• If you are planning to volunteer for any of the school or parish ministries and activities, that have contact with children, for example;  Day School, PSR, Children’s Liturgy of the Word, Coaching, Scouts, Youth Ministry, or Classroom Committees, you must be compliant with the Archdiocese of St. Lous Protecting God's Children Program. 

 

• If you have questions about the policy or process, contact Jackie Stewart, Protecting God's Children Coordinator at 636-394-4368 ext. 184 or jstewart@saintclareofassisi.org. These requirements help ensure that all school volunteers have been properly screened prior to working with our children. Volunteers are also trained in recognizing and preventing situations that might place our children in danger. Thank you for your dedication to serving our youth!

The school relies on your volunteer support.  We ask that you follow through on tasks by attending the scheduled times and giving notice of absense whenver possible.

Volunteers are expected to adhere to school rules and procedures, perform assigned tasks to the best of their ability, work cooperatively with all staff, and seek clarification when necessary.
