The Diocese of San Diego has established the following requirements in order to be able to volunteer in the schools: All volunteers must be cleared through a safe school environment screening through an online program called CMG Connect. Everyone must be cleared through CMG before volunteering. This process can take up to a week or longer before a volunteer is cleared. CMG certification must be completed every 5 years.
The CMG Process includes viewing the CMG Safe Environment Curriculum (training modules) and completing the Background Check. Defensive Driving Training is also required for those who want to drive for field trips. A $20.00 fee is required and can be made payable to School of the Madeleine. Volunteers who lived in other cities/states may incur an additional fee because the city/state requires a different search process.
