Volunteer at SMA
Parents Active in Catholic Education (PACE)
Each SMA family is required to give 20 hours of volunteer time over the course of the school year. Volunteering not only helps to benefit the fiscal health of the school but also increases the feeling of family and fellowship within the school community. Please note, volunteer hours can be completed by grandparents, aunts and uncles, or other family members! Volunteers are asked to send an email to PACE@saintmarys.academy after serving, noting the date of service, name of event, and number of hours completed. Event chairpersons will verify the hours.
Volunteers whose work will bring them into contact with students must first complete Safe Environment Training, as required by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany (RCDA). If a volunteer will be working alone with children, he or she must also pass a background check. Please reach out to Lori McInerney in our Business Office for a volunteer packet and more information.
