CGS Parent Volunteer Job Descriptions

If you are interested in helping with our CGS Program, please look at the list of jobs and their descriptions below. 
We are happy to help you learn how to help us!
If there is one you feel called to do, please contact Mary Ellen at 337/842-9896.  We are always looking for helpers!


LI  & LII HELPERS – Where:  In the Level I, Level II, & Level III Atria with the catechists
What:  1.) Record presentations catechists are giving children & also the works the children take off the shelves. 
2.) Intercept children when they disturb a catechist who is already working with another child. 
3.) In general, help maintain the quiet, respectful, meditative environment of the atrium. (Please refer to the helper handouts sent out, or contact Mary Ellen to have them sent to you.)
4.) Optional: present or re-present practical life presentations and/or review basic atrium etiquette with children.  (Ex: how to walk in the atrium, how to talk in the atrium, how to get an adult’s attention, how to carry a tray, etc.)
Who:  The catechists are always available to help with names of children and names of the materials they are working with.
How:  There are “Progress Cards” in each atria that are used to record # 1.) above.  The helper handouts review how we do and do not direct and correct children in the atria.
When:  During atrium, 4pm – 5:30pm.  Helpers are needed each week for Level I and Level II.
 
HALL MONITOR – Where:  In the large room outside the atria rooms
What:  Accompany child to restroom when they leave the atrium.  (Do not enter the bathroom.  Simply stay by the door so that you can hear and make sure they flush, and wash their hands.)  Accompany them back to their atrium.
When:  During atrium, 4pm – 5:30pm.  Two hall monitors are needed during each session.

CAR DROP OFF – Where:  At the Oustalet Center
What:  Wait outside the Oustalet Center door to welcome children as they're dropped off and to make sure they get in the building safely.
When:  15 to 20 minutes before atrium time (4pm), 3:45-4:05.
 
 WASHING & IRONING – Where:  At your home
What:  Take home the atrium washcloths, handkerchiefs, socks & sometimes aprons to wash and iron, then return the next week.
How:  Instructions will be given on how the handkerchiefs are to be ironed.
When:  Done at home anytime.
 
PLANT CARE – Do you love house plants?  If you have a green thumb and enjoy making house plants happy & beautiful, we need your help with ours!
Where:  At the Oustalet Center
What:  Care for the atria plants: 
1.) Make sure they are watered weekly, or as they need. 
2.) Fertilize plants as needed. 
3.) Repot plants as needed.  (Potting soil and pots are available.)
How:  There are several plants in each atrium that the children take care of.   Children don’t always water all the plants, water them adequately or sometimes over water them, so they need weekly care.  They also occasionally need fertilizing.    Potting soil and pots are available when plants outgrow their containers.
When:  Each week at your discretion.
