SUGGESTIONS FOR PLANNING YOUTH EVENTS

FROM RI DISTRICT 6630
YOUTH PROTECTION COMMITTEE

As your Youth Protection Committee works to implement the District’s Youth Protection Policy (click here to view) with you, a few items have come to our attention. We thought we might forward suggestions on some of these points.

First, it will be helpful as you plan for youth activities if the lead planner for the activity has reviewed the Orientation Presentation (click here to view) that is on the District website, which was held on September 18, 2021. If you have trouble, Cheryl Warren can help. The Orientation Presentation (click here to view) includes documents that are found in the Appendices to the Youth Protection Policy (click here to view) and it also reviews several hypothetical situations involving youth related events.

Second, your Youth Protection Committee has found that many Interact Advisors in the various schools where the clubs are located are an excellent resource and are very well versed in various safety protocols. To the extent you are not already doing so, we recommend that you closely coordinate with these school advisors.

Also, of course, you can feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, as well as the other members on the Youth Protection Committee. The Committee members are all listed on the District website and in the District Directory. If you wish to have a presentation made for your Club, please contact me.

As always, we thank you for your help and your attention. The Committee needs your continuing assistance to implement this program.

Sincerely yours,

Yours in Rotary Service -
