No experts needed, just adults willing to listen.

All volunteers must be Safe Gatherings certified. Safe Gatherings is a comprehensive system that incorporates an online application, online abuse prevention training, several levels of background checks, and paperless reference checks for people who volunteer or are employed with churches, schools, and organizations that serve or work with children, youth, and vulnerable adults. Thank you for keeping our students safe.
