The National School Chaplain Association (405-831-3299) believes school chaplaincy is a path to greatness and they are proudly making it easier for teachers and ministers to use their skills to better help kids across America.
If you have been searching for your calling, the National School Chaplain Association believes it could be school chaplaincy. If you want to make a difference in the lives of children and young people, there is no better position than school chaplain.
In response to the growing need for both spiritual care and additional welfare support in public education, the National School Chaplain Association is making it simpler for already certified teachers and ordained ministers like yourself to make the shift to becoming a school chaplain. As the organization explains, in just eight weeks you can now gain the official certification and accreditation you need to take on a full-time position within a public elementary, middle or high school.

The National School Chaplain Association believes that school chaplains have an increasingly important role to play in school districts across the country, and has seen that in a time in which mental health issues amongst student bodies are rising, support services seem to be paradoxically falling. As a recent study by the Pew Research Center illuminated, only 55% of schools in the US provide mental health assessment services and only 42% offer any kind of mental health treatment like counseling.
As such, because school chaplains who are certified with the National School Chaplain Association are paid through the organization, your work will be in demand in schools where there is no public funding or provision for other counseling and mental health services. Therefore, there are an increasing number of job openings in public education for newly trained and certified school chaplains like you.

If you’re a teacher who wants to swap from a classroom position to a counseling position or a minister who wants to swap church pews for the schoolyard, you are encouraged to sign up for the National School Chaplain’s new eight-week program. During this time, you will gain the skills you need to make schools safer and happier by reducing bullying, mental health issues, and violent behaviors, and increasing connectedness, community, and spiritual faith.
The National School Chaplain Association operates in schools across America.
A spokesperson for the organization said, “When chaplains enter a school, they share peace, strength, love, and hope. They provide students with the spiritual care they need to overcome tragedies and hardships to fulfill their dreams and destiny.”
The National School Chaplain Association knows we all want to make a difference and they believe there is no more meaningful act than providing spiritual care for the next generation.
