Governance Procedures Development

Administrators are responsible for developing the processes and forms to help the organization bridge policy and practice and to ensure the Board is meeting its duty to direct and support its staff and volunteers. Developing these procedures can be very time consuming and frustrating. YouthSafe Outdoors staff can sit down with you and help you identify and implement appropriate forms, trip and teacher/leader qualification review processes and other elements of your risk management system to help maximize the economy of effort and peace of mind of your administrative and field leadership teams. Ensure you have procedures and forms that are congruent with your Board’s policies and that help operationalize the transference of risk (e.g., to participants, parents, drivers, service providers) where and how this is appropriate.
