REMINDER:

• All religious activities must be Catholic. Do not request volunteers for any religious activities which are not Catholic - Request volunteers only for Roman Catholic events / activities / organizations, etc. in full communion with the perennial Magisterium. No activity / event / organization, etc. which doesn't follow traditional Roman Catholic teachings (e.g. "modernist", "progressive", unorthodox, "feminist", "charismatic", anti-Catholic, "new age", etc. organizations/activities/events, etc.) or which seeks to have traditional Church teachings changed, or which adheres to / promotes any kind of questionable orthodoxy.

• Do not request volunteers for any activity / event / organization, etc. which is at odds with traditional Roman Catholic teachings or practices.  

• Do not request volunteers for any non-Catholic "church" or for any non-Catholic "Christian" (or other religious) organization.  

• NO posts endorsing "illicit", Sedevacantist, or schismatic (as defined by the Holy See) activities / organizations / events, etc.

• This section is for serious, meaningful posts only. Do not request volunteers for purely recreational, "Catholic buddy" or "pen-pal" type activities here. This section is not designed for superficial matters or for purely social activities, but rather to help those who are genuinely in need of assistance. Note: If you are interested in recreational activities, try the MCS Directory (e.g. "Arts, Entertainment & Recreation") or the Classified Ads section (e.g. "Catholic Buddies", Events, etc.). Note that we may reject posts that appear purely social. 

• Do not request volunteers for events/activities, etc. held primarily to promote products, services, websites, businesses, organizations, etc.

• Reasonable requests only. 

• Do not offer any compensation for volunteer services. If you are seeking to hire individuals, consider an inexpensive ad in a commercial section of this site (e.g. "Employment" ads in the Classified Ads section). Note: If you violate our policies, all your future posts to this site (not just this section) may be subject to auto rejection.

• Request appropriate volunteer services only. Do not seek donations or other payments of money, materials, etc. If you violate our policies, all your future posts to this site (not just this section) may be subject to auto rejection.

• You should be especially cautious about requesting/utilizing the services of unknown persons. It may be wise to limit participation to activities/events, etc. occurring on known, safe public grounds (and not in residential areas or on other private grounds). 

• You are solely responsible for all tax, legal, etc. implications - and for all other consequences - of your volunteer related activities (including requests for/selection of/use of, etc. volunteers). Remember that you may be held liable for the safety of (and for all activities of) volunteers and for their possessions - as well as for all their actions. Do NOT request/utilize volunteer assistance if you cannot afford to be liable/responsible for volunteers, for their possessions, and for the consequences of their actions. Note that this liability may extend from portal to portal.

By disclosing any personal information, you may put yourself and your loved ones at risk.

For more information, click here.

If you are requesting volunteers for an event, the event should commence no less than one month from the date of your submission (and more is better).
