The Office of Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Richmond, Virginia.

Volunteer in a Catholic School

We welcome volunteers to share their time and talent with our schools.  Most schools in the Diocese of Richmond require a service hour commitment from their families. Volunteers can help in a variety of ways, including:

  • helping in the classroom 
  • providing assistance during lunchroom duty
  • supporting fundraising events
  • chaperoning field trips
  • and other school activities

Your support is vital to our success and we thank you for sharing your time and talent with our schools!

“Parents have the unique opportunity to volunteer in the school, which leads to a certain pride in your child, as they get to see mom and dad during their day and also get to know they have contributed to the school in a small way.”
