Volunteering is vital to Cristo Rey Tampa’s student success and to building a strong sense of community among our families, students, and staff. All Cristo Rey Tampa parents and guardians are invited to participate in the Parent Council. There are many ways to volunteer, and there is something for everyone!

Volunteers support many of the activities possible at Cristo Rey Tampa. To ensure the safety of the students and families in our community, every volunteer is required to:

• Comply with the Diocese of St. Petersburg fingerprint policy for background screening (Level II)
• Attend the appropriate Safe Environment Program (Diocesan and Salesian) training
• Complete and submit a volunteer application 

Step One: Complete and Submit a Volunteer/Parent Council Form.

Download and complete the Volunteer/Parent Council Registration Form. Please submit the form via email to pr@cristoreytampa.org

Step Two: Level II Background Screening

• All volunteers working with children and vulnerable adults must be Level II background screened* using electronic fingerprinting through diocesan resources.
