Apply to join Adult Core Team 2019-2020!

Ready to apply for Adult Core Team 2019-2020?

Step 1: Make sure you fully understand the Core Team expectations and commitments (on the "Adult Core Team page")  

Step 2: Apply online using this link.  (It takes a while, so give yourself lots of time to complete it!  We recommend writing and saving your answers in a separate document and then copying and pasting your responses into the form.) For a copy of the questions to review as you prepare your application, click on "Adult Core Team Application Questions" below. Applications are due August 20th.

Step 3: Attend the Core Team Retreat. September 8, 1:30-5:30 PM. 

Step 4: If you are new to working with youth at Saint John's, find two references to fill out the recommendation form.  We need two recommendation forms filled out for each applicant.  Please have two, non-relative, adults (who are practicing Catholics and currently volunteer in some ministry in a Catholic parish) fill the reference form out.  These are due no later than August 20th.

Step 5: Register for the Adult Core Team for the 2019-2020 school year.  Do this only AFTER we have contacted you to inform you that you have been accepted to the Core Team. 

Step 6: Become "Safe Environment Qualified," which involves a background check, signing a code of conduct, and attending a Virtus training session if you haven't already taken one. You can do so by contacting Renee Anderson in the parish office.

Step 7: Sign up for our Remind message group.  This is the primary way we share updates with Core teens and parents.  See below for the "Remind Sign Up Letter" document.

Step 8: Mark your calendars for all events.  Adult Core Team is not a lower priority than your other volunteer work, hobbies, etc.  On Adult Core Team, youth are depending on your commitment and witness to your faith in Christ.  If you have a GENUINE conflict, coordinate directly with Joe Block.  A lack of commitment may be grounds for you to be removed from Adult Core Team.

There will NOT be a printed calendar this year.  Please refer to the calendar below.
 

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US!
