Overview of Pallotti Center Services
Information & Education
Full-time staff members of all the Pallotti Centers are available to inform the public about lay volunteer service opportunities in Church-based programs. Staff provide information through the Local Offices, by visiting colleges, campus ministry centers, high schools, parishes, and other groups interested in lay ministry. They distribute free of charge copies of
Connections to anyone interested in opportunities to serve actively in Church ministry.
The Connections directory guides prospective volunteers through a series of
discernment questions and evaluation as to which volunteer program may be best
for them. Staff members at the Pallotti Center work with prospective volunteers to explore their personal strengths and weaknesses, talents, interests, personal and professional goals and objectives. Referrals to volunteer programs are made based on an individual's preference and the criteria of the programs. Staff members work with potential volunteers as much as possible to provide information and answer questions.

Consultation
Staff members work with professional persons interested in lay
ministry such as church administrators, leaders in religious communities who are planning to organize and/or support a lay ministry program, directors of service programs and agencies, and organizations which offer financial support to volunteer missionary programs in the U.S. and in developing countries.
