In order to ensure the safety of our children, OLGC and the Diocese
of Fort Worth require all adult participants to meet the following
criteria:
- 18 years of age and older
- not registered with OLGC as a student for at least one year
- have a valid, up-to-date Safe Environment Certification granted by the Diocese of Fort Worth
- grant permission for OLGC to request a copy of his/her Motor Vehicle Record
- be
familiar with and agree to the “Safe Environment” section of the OLGC
Handbook which includes certification requirements, acceptable behavior
standards, reporting procedures, etc.
- be included in the official list of OLGC adult participants by September of the current academic year
Furthermore, the success of Our Lady of Good Counsel is dependent
upon the contributions of its participating families. Please confirm you agree to the following:
- I agree to provide service hours, whether it be served out by myself, my spouse, or another Safe Environment certified adult.
- I understand that certain, but not all, service hour positions allow my younger children to attend with me.
- I
understand that I am required to fulfill a minimum number of service
hours per quarter. The number is determined by the number of member
families and the number of slots needed for that quarter. This usually
averages to be about 6-8 timeslots per month, but this number is not
guaranteed and is determined quarter by quarter.
- Each timeslot
is 1 hour and 20 minutes. There are six timeslots available each
Tuesday. There are two timeslots available each Thursday.
- All
families fulfill the same number of Service Hours no matter how many
students or how many courses are registered. (Exception: OLGC Tutors and
Steering Committee contribute to the co-op through their tutoring and
administration rather than through member Service Hours.)
- I
understand the option to pay another member family to complete my
service hours is solely dependent on the availability of other member
families. I understand that I should not depend on being able to use this option as there are often not enough member families available to offer it.
- I
understand that if I do not fulfill my required service hours, it
places an undue burden on other member families and my family may be
ineligible to return to OLGC in the future.
In addition to
required Service Hours, OLGC has many volunteer positions available to
help the organization run smoothly and provide an optimal experience to
the students and community. We ask all member families to seriously pray
about and consider these vital volunteer positions.
ABOVE ALL, we ask each and every member family to pray intentionally for the Community!
