Volunteer Information


Virtus - Protecting God's Children

Protecting God's Children® for Adults is training conducted by VIRTUS® certified facilitators on the prevention of child sexual abuse. The training makes participants aware of the signs of child sexual abuse, the methods and means by which offenders commit abuse, and five easy steps one can use to prevent child sexual abuse. Two videos are the centerpiece of the training: A Time to Protect God's Children™ and A Plan to Protect God's Children™. The facilitators incorporate policies and procedures into the training defining child sexual abuse, addressing the reporting of child sexual abuse, the screening and selection of employees and volunteers, and victim advocacy. 
Virtus Website
Adults wishing to volunteer in activities involving direct contact with students are required to attend the Protecting God's Children workshop. We suggest that each adult family member attend a session at the beginning of the school year in order to fulfill this requirement.  A schedule of upcoming workshops is available on the Diocese of Buffalo website under the “Chancery” tab.  Click on the “Protecting God’s Children Workshop Registration” link for upcoming session information.
 
The positive synergy of the Southtowns Catholic School community nurtures a climate of togetherness, which in turn will perpetually benefit each student. SCS is blessed to have many talented and generous supporters who freely give their time and talent to create an educational haven in which our students may grow.  We cannot exist without the support of our families and community. 

Thank You!
