To Volunteer for Your Child’s Class – Virtus Safe Environment Program

To help in the classroom, drive on field trips, tutor, or to be a CYO coach or volunteer, you must complete the Virtus Safe Environment Program.  Please go to VirtusOnline.org to register and complete the training or to check your status on previous training.

• Using your home address is important because your training record will follow you to a new ministry location and make it easier to locate your information, instead of being combined with an entire school or parish location.
• Use a valid email address for the Certificate of Completion; otherwise you may not receive a copy to turn into your school/parish.
• List all locations at which you will participate.  This allows all locations to verify the participant has completed the required training.

Please contact sandyp@olgseattle.org with questions.

Photo Authorization

Consent is not required if photo includes child in a group of 3 or more and without published names. 

 School Directory

Contact information from the Student Profile will be used in the School Directory.
