We need many people to help with VBS – for one or all five days! Read the descriptions for each role and complete the form below. We will contact you as we put the team together. St. Philip's School families - volunteering at Vacation Bible School can count toward your volunteer hours!
There are many opportunities for adults and young people in grades 6-12 (in the 2023 - 2024 school year.) All adult volunteers must complete the Diocesan Safe Environment Training before helping with VBS.
Please note: due to the large number of youth volunteers wanting to volunteer at VBS
and the availability of positions, some youth may not be able to volunteer at VBS. Youth should volunteer as soon as possible if you would like to help with VBS!
