I’ve run into situations where I’ve had to use a last-minute sub to an overnight event for a volunteer chaperone who had an emergency. What would the event coordinator need to know about this person?
It’s imperative that the person has been through the MSU Extension Volunteer Selection Process if they are to be housed with youth or in a lodging area with shared bathrooms. The event coordinator must contact a 4-H staff member from the person’s county to verify the person has been through the process. If the person has not been through the process, the event coordinator can determine if there are enough other chaperones to accommodate the young people who came with the person. If this is not feasible, the person and the youth coming with him or her will not be able to stay at the event.
