Chapter Policies & Procedures for Child Safety
First Tee - Greater Richmond does not allow volunteers to be alone with students at any time. Please ensure that there is another volunteer or staff member present whenever you are with a student. Ask for help from a member of the staff or volunteers. Volunteers may not accompany a child to the bathroom or to a secluded area under any circumstances.
For the protection of the student and volunteer, the following actions are prohibited at all times:
-spending time alone with a child
-telling inappropriate jokes or stories
-"making eyes at" or giving seductive looks
-discussions of one's sex life or relationships
-sitting too close or lying next to a child
-finding ways to be alone with a child
-confiding in a child about personal issues
-engaging in physical "horseplay" such as tickling or wrestling with participants
First Aid
In the event of injury or emergency involving a student, immediately call 911 if the injury is or could be severe or life threatening. Locate and contact the "Emergency Contact" person on file for the student. Render first aid until someone of higher medical training is capable to render further assistance.
First Tee - Greater Richmond takes safety very seriously. We take important steps to ensure that we maintain the highest possible level of safety at our Chapter. One of those steps will be the successful completion of a comprehensive background screening process. You will receive the link to complete this process upon submittal of your Volunteer Application.
