Please Join Our VBS Team
VBS needs about 160 volunteers to make this year a success! Sign up for adult and teen volunteers is going on now via SignUpGenius using the button above. You do not need to be a SignUpGenius member to sign up. Just check out the tabs at the top of the SignUpGenius and choose the job you are interested in. Note: Adult and Teen sign ups are separated and can be found by following the link “Group: Show more sign ups.” (Hint: If using a cell phone, look for the drop down menus.) Follow the prompts to enter your name, e-mail and phone number, which is needed for communication about VBS.
You may volunteer for all five days, just a day or two, or do prep work from home. Additional tabs (like at-home tasks) will be added in the coming weeks. We need help coordinating several of the areas and also just need extra hands in many areas. The options are endless! We offer free childcare for our in-house volunteers with young children (0-4 years old). The children will experience much of the VBS experience and have as much fun as the big kids!
You will have plenty of resources and training to enable you to have a fun filled week with your VBS kids! Let God use you at VBS. You will be amazed how much it blesses you!
Please e-mail Karen.Hogan@ResurrectionParish.net if you are interested in learning more about a volunteer position or finding the right fit for you to help us during the week. You are also to welcome to call Resurrection at (734) 451-0444.
Adult (AGE 18+) Volunteer REQUIREMENTS: DUE JUne 1st, 2024
As of November 1st, 2023, the Archdiocese of Detroit requires all volunteers to submit a background check authorization form to each entity in the AOD (renewed each year), read and sign the code of conduct form, and take the Protecting God’s Children Workshop (recertified every 3 years). The VBS leadership team’s top priority is the safety of all who attend our program. We need volunteers to comply by June 1st in order to keep your preferred position at VBS. With other 150 volunteers, waiting until the last minute to complete these requirements puts a strain on our VBS staff. Thank you so much for meeting these requirements early!

For teens who are currently in high school (Please note: Current middle school students do not need to take this) and not yet 18 years old, an online, asynchronous training session called Healthy Relationships for Teens 2.0 is required by the Archdiocese of Detroit. Go to Virtus.org and complete this requirement by June 1st to keep your preferred position at VBS. Catholic School students should have received this training in their school, and therefore will not need to take this online training.
