STAND Training

The Archdiocese of Baltimore requires all adults that volunteer in positions that come into contact with minors obtain STAND Training. The volunteer process must be completed prior to beginning the volunteer service.

The training consists of 3 parts; attend the training session, complete the forms provided by the school/parish or available online, and return them to the school or parish office.
