SPECIAL NOTES: |

|
Fulfilling the Archdiocese of Washington (ADW) Child Protection Policy is currently the only mandatory certification that all CYO coaches (and all other volunteers who have substantial contact with children in CYO sports) must obtain. Please consult the Archdiocese of Washington Web Site at http://www.adw.org/home.asp under the link for YOUTH/CHILD PROTECTION for all of the latest information.

All adults age 18 and over who have substantial contact with youth (such as coordinators of youth ministry, chaperones, youth ministry advisors, core team members, youth ministry volunteers and catechists, coaches and scout leaders) MUST be in compliance with the Archdiocesan Child Protection Policy. This includes completing FBI and Maryland state background checks before volunteering or working with children (fingerprinting is offered at three locations in the Archdiocese; scheduling information is on the Child Protection page); reading the Archdiocesan Child Protection Policy; and attending a three-hour, practical child protection workshop called Protecting God’s Children (by Virtus). Please consult the links on the left hand side of this page for additional information. |
