There are many types of volunteers such as Catechist, Catechist Aide, Hall Monitor and more. You do not need a degree to lead young people in the faith! The most important thing when volunteering is being a witness to the faith by how we live. All volunteers will receive training for their position and are screened before being allowed to work with youth.​
