All those looking to volunteer for the 2025-2026 school year must have a background check on file and must have taken Protecting God's Children, a requirement from the Archdiocese of Detroit through the Virtus system.
If you plan to volunteer and have not previously completed the training, you must complete either an in-person training course or the online webinar for your initial training. The initial training is valid for three years after which you must complete the online self-paced refresher training to continue volunteering.
Background checks are valid for two years after which you must resubmit the background check release form.
The background check can be found below. If you still need to take Protecting God's Children, check the link below with a schedule, including several virtual options. For all questions regarding your login, contact our Business Manager, Steve Carozza at s.carozza@stargp.org.
