PSR is a team effort, and we welcome new team members:
- PSR Catechist – Professional teachers (current, retired, or student teachers) who are VIRTUS-compliant are needed to teach or team teach regularly or to be on a sub list. Training and materials are provided, and a standard tutor stipend is offered.
- PSR Teacher Aide – Assist in a classroom once, twice, or all year if you like. VIRTUS-compliant adults as well as high school students, and middle school Catholic School students are always needed to help with PSR.
- PSR Parent Involvement - Parental involvement is essential to the success of PSR. Parents or Grandparents can sign up to assist the program in several ways, for example an extra set of hands in the classroom, a door monitor, etc. All who assist must be compliant with the diocesan VIRTUS child protection directives.
- Student Volunteers - High School students needing services hours are welcome to help as well!
