Volunteer Certification

Any adult (18 years and older) wanting to volunteer with children of St. George Catholic School must fulfill the requirements as mandated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Diocese of Baton Rouge. 

If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity at St. George Catholic School, you must complete the Child Protection certification process as mandated by the Diocese. ALL requirements must be met. The process can take several weeks from start to approval. You may not volunteer until the process is complete, and you have been approved by the school and the Diocese.  Anyone interested in coaching a sports team at St. George School must complete the process and be approved before practice begins. You only have to complete the process one time. Please return all required paperwork to the main school office to the attention of Susan Giles.

Process:

1. Anyone interested in volunteering at St. George Catholic School should submit their contact information below to complete the pre-check process for child protection.
2. You will then be emailed a special code and directed to the CAPS website where you will create a new user account as a volunteer for St. George School and complete the Serving Vulnerable Populations online video.
3. The email will also include the other requirements for the certification process (a background check at IdentoGO, a declaration form and privacy pages).
4. You must also provide a copy of your Driver’s License or government-issued ID.  
5. Please return all required paperwork to the main school office to the attention of Susan Giles.
