Give the Gift of Time
-
By offering a helping hand at St. Mary Catholic School, you are not just supporting the school's mission; you are actively shaping the school environment for your child, building the community you want to be part of, and being present for your child while they are at the school. There are numerous ways to get involved, whether it's volunteering at the school, parish, events, or in the classroom. There are also flexible opportunities to volunteer outside of school hours. If you have an idea that's not listed in our Volunteer Opportunities or Sign-up links, please share it with us. Let's work together to make a difference!

How to get Started as a Volunteer
All school volunteers are required by law to complete and clear a background check. The Catholic Diocese of Spokane requires a Diocesan Disclosure Form and attendance at the "Code of Conduct" VIRTUS Safe Environment training session each year before volunteering around St. Mary children. Please visit: virtusonline.org and click first time registrant to get started. Our location is: Spokane, WA (Diocese)
Background checks can take 2-5 business days to process. Virtus updates include: Annual online training course and background check renewal every 5 years.
VIRTUS REGISTRATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FORM
Once all requirements are fulfilled, volunteers must report to the school office to sign in and obtain a visitor badge. Once the given task on campus has been completed, please return the badge to the school office and sign out.
