Volunteer Requirements

St. Michael Parish is committed to safeguarding the children who attend our parish and school and participate in other programs offered by our parish and school. Our parish participates in the VIRTUS Program, Protecting God’s Children Awareness Training. All volunteers who work with children and all employees are to complete the requirements set forth by the Diocese of Lansing and St. Michael Parish, including a background check and attending a Protecting God’s Children Awareness session.

Safe Environment Programs for Adults
Protecting God's Children for Adults - VIRTUS®
The training for adults makes participants (employees or volunteers) aware of the signs of child sexual abuse, the methods and means by which offenders commit abuse along with 5 easy steps you can use to prevent child sexual abuse.  Protecting God's Children also gives best practices when working and volunteering with minors and youth.  A refresher training for adults is required every 5 years to continue serving with minors and youth.

To volunteer in the school, please contact Laurie Mooney at the school office at 517-627-2167 or lauriemooney@stmichaelgl.org to receive your volunteer packet.
