Adult volunteers are required to have current Youth Protection Certification which includes a background check, provided by the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
Under current policy, upon approval, certified volunteers will be cleared for five (5) years from the date of completion of each task in Virtus.
All those who wish to volunteer with Our Lady of Victory Parish must be appropriately screened and trained and provide three signed reference forms to Virtus Coordinator Donna Ludwikoski.
You can find the training at virtusonline.org. You will register by clicking "First-Time Registrant." Select: "Begin the registration process," and then "Baltimore Archdiocese." You will create a login ID and password. If you need to renew, please do not create a new account. Please sign in to your existing Virtus account. If you do not know your sign-in, please reach out to Donna Ludwikoski for assistance.
All youth volunteers ages 14-18 must complete a Volunteer Application (including providing 3 personal refrences) and read the Statement of Policy and Code of Conduct.
In addition, all youth volunteers are required to take “Worthy of the Call” training, an in-person, video-based training on safe enviornment practices and abuse reporting requirements. The training is held here at the parish and is age-appropriate for our youth.
