STAND
for the Protection of Children
 and Youth

STAND for the Protection of Children and Youth is a program of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. All volunteers in Resurrection Parish and Resurrection/St. Paul School are required to participate in some level of STAND training. Volunteers who work with children are required to complete the highest level of the STAND process before beginning their volunteer service.

Before attending the video training you can fill out the packet that has the various application and screening forms in it. This will begin the process and is the most time consuming. You can obtain a packet from the parish or school office.

STAND video training for adults is held on the second Monday of every month except June, July and December. Additional trainings are also scheduled when necessary. These dates are published in the bulletin.  The training is usually held in the Pastoral Center.

Registration is required. The deadline to register is 5:00 pm the Thursday before the training. To register, call Ginny Ryan 410-461-9111 x223 or e-mail her at gryan@res-ec.org.   She will get back to you to confirm your registration or to let you know that the session is full and to reschedule you for a later date. Leaving a message does not guarantee that you are registered.

The adult training at Resurrection is scheduled from 7:00-9:00 pm in the conference room in the Pastoral Center unless otherwise indicatied.  Please plan to arrive 5 minutes before the starting time to sign in and fill out some paperwork. Training sessions start on time as to be respectful of everyone's busy schedule. If you arrive late you may have to repeat the training.
