Adult Volunteers
We love our Adult Volunteers. You are a Blessing!
To make VBS happen, we need lots of adult help! Saint Raphael’s Catholic Vacation Bible School will be a great success when we build an enthusiastic, lively, and well-coordinated team. Join us!
Adults are invited to help on one or more days of VBS. The adult team arrives at 9:00am each day (the children attend from 9:30-Noon). Childcare for children ages 2-4 will be provided for the children of adult volunteers.
Adults who volunteer for the entire week will receive complimentary VBS registration for their children.
Please complete the Adult Volunteer Form if you are interested in being part of this exciting week! We will contact you about upcoming preparations and your VBS role on the SCUBA VBS Team! Meetings will happen about every ten days to two weeks in mid-June and July
