Kidding Around? Be Serious! A Commitment to Safe Service Opportunities for Young People
Kidding Around is written for organizations that use young volunteers in their programs. The book reviews the characteristics of children and adolescents that increase the risks of service — both for the young volunteer and the organization. It also reviews the legal responsibilities arising from your organization’s use of young volunteers, and examines how traditional risk management processes apply to programs offering service opportunities to young people. The general risk management discussion addresses legal concerns, such as child labor laws and abuse reporting statutes, and special sensitive topics, such as transportation, drug abuse, juvenile offenders, and violence.
