At a time when schools face a myriad of challenges, including high rates of stress, anxiety and depression amongst students, high levels of bullying and threats to school safety, the National School Chaplain Association believes that chaplains have a critical role to play. That's why the nationwide association is pleased to now be reaching out to individuals in Waskom who are interested in chaplain opportunities in Texas and neighboring Louisiana.

The National School Chaplain Association is the only organization in the US that offers certified chaplain training, and as the leading provider of school chaplains in both public and private schools, they can connect graduates of their training programs with a wealth of job opportunities. Their newly announced chaplain training program is an intensive short course which is undertaken completely online and which can be completed in a matter of months--their core chaplain training course is a structured 8-week program, and additional safety training must also be completed.

School chaplains who study with the National School Chaplain Association will have the opportunity to really make a difference. Several studies have indicated that chaplains can help to nurture school safety, to reduce student stress, anxiety and depression, to improve emotional wellbeing, and to provide spiritual guidance.
In essence, a school chaplain gives students access to a safe space in which they can be free to express themselves, and NSCA-certified school chaplains are given the tools to help students tackle whatever problem they are facing. As NSCA chaplains are trained to be respectful, supportive, empowering, empathetic and professional, they can help students from all backgrounds to feel more connected to their school community, more hopeful about the future, and more confident in their own skin.
The National School Chaplain Association is proud to be a force for good in private and public education in the state of Texas and across the USA.
A spokesperson for the association said, "In a historical era of conflict, discord, and loneliness - the role of chaplain has never been more critical. We invite you to unlock your potential to make a profound impact on the lives of students as a certified school chaplain."
