Volunteer

Your time and talents are the greatest gifts you can give to people. Are you someone with somehting to offer? Many people have a skill(s) or special taltent that can be used to help others.

Catholic Charities' vision is to help those who are marginalized in Santa Clara County to realize full participation in commnity life. Without people like you supporting the efforts at Catholic Charities we would not be able to help the 30,000+ people who come to us each year.

The information provided should answer most of your questions. Please feel free to contact us directly if you need additional information. The Volunteer Program Manager is available via email at volunteer@ccsj.org or by calling the main agency number at 408-468-0100.

Blue Ball Volunteer Application

Mail the application to:

Suana Hamulic, 2625 Zanker Road, San Jose, CA 95134

Important:

In order to ensure a safe environment for our clients, volunteers, visitors and staff, the following policies are mandatory:

All volunteers who work with clients and or with confidential information are required to

  • complete the background check portion of the application;
  • provide Catholic Charities, before beginning service, with the current report (less than 2 years old) of a negative skin test for TB or a physician’s certificate of clearance;
  • up-date the TB test every 4 years.

All volunteers who are 18 years old or older and work with clients or with confidential information, must, in addition to the above, receive clearance from the Department of Justice and the FBI by having the Live Scan fingerprint test. The HR specialist must receive the clearance report before the volunteer can begin service.

Individuals who refuse to comply with these requests cannot be accepted as volunteers.
