All adult volunteers who work with children are required to fully comply with Diocesan child protection requirements.  This includes volunteers in school, sports, and CCF & Youth Ministry.  The volunteer certification process is much more than just taking a Virtus training class! 

The 3-step certification process includes the following:

1. Complete this OLGC form so we can track the progress of your background check:  https://www.olgcva.org/outreach/serve/volunteer-children/form
2. Complete the Office of Child Protection background check questionnaire:  https://www.arlingtondiocese.org/Child-Protection
3. Once you have completed the questionnaire in Step 2, register for and attend the in-person, 4-hour VIRTUS training session (Protecting God's Children for Adults) at a Catholic parish in Northern Virginia.  Register at www.virtusonline.org and choose Arlington Diocese.  Follow the directions given.  

Questions?  Please contact Christine Moan, Child Protection Liaison, at cmoan@olgcva.org.  Thank you for your volunteer service!
