Parent Volunteering
The Archdiocese of Baltimore is committed to providing quality, healthy ministry for all persons, particularly for our children and youth.
All volunteers are required to complete VIRTUS screening and training.
Volunteer Opportunities
One of the best ways for parents to get involved at Cathedral is to head a committee, or volunteer with one. There is something for every interest, and every role helps support and enrich student life! Learn about various event volunteer opportunities through the Cathedral School Parents Association (CASPA).
NEW Parent Ambassador
The Parent Ambassador Program is an opportunity for parents to team up and work with the Admissions team to build relationships with prospective families. We are looking for Parent Ambassadors who would like to assist us in the following ways:
- Be present at school and parish events including Open Houses
- Be advocates to potential new families
- Talk to prospective families interested in learning more about SCMOQ or who are seeking admission and offer a smooth transition into the enrollment process
- Assist us with social media to best reach families
