Does Michigan 4-H Youth Development provide similar protection for youth involved in non-overnight 4-H activities?
Michigan 4-H uses the MSU Extension VSP to help us carefully select and match appropriate adults with the youth-related efforts that best meet the needs of everyone involved. The VSP is for volunteers who desire to work directly with youth and for volunteers who work with adults who have severe mental, physical or emotional handicapping conditions. The VSP must be completed by volunteers aged 19 and over who have ongoing, unsupervised access to children aged 19 and under and/or to adults who have severe mental, physical or emotional handicapping conditions. “Ongoing” is defined as more than four meetings or gathering times and/or in-depth contact (such as overnight events, out-of-state trips, exchange trips). “Unsupervised” means that the person is alone with children for significant periods of time. For more information on the VSP, go to http://web1.msue.msu.edu/msue/cyf/youth/cwbvsp.html.
