Virtus Course Renewal
If you have previously taken the Virtus awareness program, Protecting God’s Children for Adults, and it is time to renew, you are encouraged to register for the Virtus Renewal program, Keeping the Promise Alive (KPA). Keeping the Promise Alive is a live 1 ½ hour session. Renewal of Safe Environment training can be accomplished by attending the Keeping the Promise Alive 1 ½ hour awareness session OR by attending the original Protecting God’s Children for Adults 3-hour awareness session again.
Reminder: The Protecting God's Children for Adults 3-hour program is the prerequisite for registering for Keeping the Promise Alive 1 ½ hour program.
Please note it is no longer a requirement to read the monthly VIRTUS bulletins, although they will continue to be available to read for enhanced safe environment education.
