Safety and Supervision is our #1 Priority

Risk Management and Safety Plan

Since our YouthOne FAME program tracks and off-site adventures serve youth between ages 8 and 18 we take safety and risk seriously including but not limited to Fitness, Arts, Mentoring and Enrichment involves contact with one or more youth is small group settings according to best practices of two deep adults with no less than three in attendance at all times unless otherwise approved by the Executive Director under emergency or otherwise unusual circumstances.

Through our safety and risk management committee we have implemented layers of policies, procedures and guidelines through a comprehensive training manual that all our mentors and staff must complete prior to being responsible for our youth without a team lead. Our number one priority is to keep our youth and volunteers SAFE. 


We will have implemented the necessary policies and procedures to identify and execute best practices in our daily operation. As mandated reporters; were committed to immediately reporting any incident to the proper authorities and law enforcement as required by law. Through our life-changing work; you can be ensured that our youth will treated in ways that are compassionate, caring, loving respected and and effective. 


We believe that all its students should be treated fairly, and consistently. We also take any accusation, or claims of harsh, punitive, exclusionary discipline, abuse, molestation, misconduct, harassment and other forms of verbal, physical or emotional punishment very seriously. We will take the necessary best practices actions to immediately report the incident to the proper authorities and law enforcement as required by law as a mandated reporter. 


The number one question our Parents, Teachers, Coaches, Administrator, Pastors, Youth Advocates and our Supporters ask us is; How do you screen your mentors, staff and volunteers? Our answer is simple! Our process is the most comprehensive in any youth organization in Lake County. 


Of course with any process and the most of due diligence you are advice to speak to your child about their boundaries and comfort with any of our mentors, staff and volunteers and report any concerns to our Executive Director immediately. Our Background and Screening process comply with AB506 to the fullest extent possible and fully adheres to the Department of Justice and Federal requirement including but not limited to Criminal Live Scan Finger Print and Personal/Employment Reference Inquiry to though in person interviews. 


Since you trust your child to our care; you can expect you child's mentor to undergo annual reviews and be required to produce negative drug test results, participate in mandated child abuse training, medical history TB verification and other best practices prior to being hired or permitted to engage with your child. 


In addition all of our approved adult mentors and staff who are permitted and authorized to transport youth have undergone extensive motor vehicle driving records evaluation to ensure your child mentor has a track record of safe driving history. All vehicles will be inspected on an annual basis to verify routine maintenance, registration, insurance and a valid driver license is in force without restrictions.
