    • Background Checks

      Increased Safety

      The Diocese of Joliet Office of Child and Youth Protection has upgraded it's background check process from once every 5 years to a quarterly update for each volunteer.

      New & existing volunteers

      • We are asking our volunteers to consider a donation* to offset price increase (from $2.50 to $18/pp)
      • We have historically covered this cost but with 100's of volunteers the financial impact will be significant

      * All donations are fully tax-deductible and greatly appreciated!
