Volunteer Requirements

At Holy Family Catholic School, the safety and well-being of our students are our top priority. All volunteers must complete a Diocese of Arlington background check before volunteering. These requirements apply to some school activities, cafeteria volunteers, field trips, athletic programs, and other volunteer opportunities.

How to Get Started:

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment for all our Falcons!

Each family is required to complete 12 volunteer hours per school year. Please record and submit your volunteer hours using the Volunteer Hours Documentation Form linked below

BACKPACK PROGRAM
The Backpack Program provides healthy options on the weekends for students at Bel Air Elementary who rely on school breakfast and lunch during the week. Holy Family NJHS students pack approximately 60-80 bags once a month for the Bel Air students to have a bag of healthy food to take home each Friday. We are in need of adult volunteers to deliver the bags to Bel Air one Wednesday a month between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 pm. Please use the button below to sign up.
