YOUTH PROGRAMS
Pick-Up & Transportation Guidelines & Forms
For the safety and accountability of all youth participants, parents/guardians must complete the appropriate authorization forms whenever a youth will leave a program activity independently or be transported by someone other than a parent or guardian.
All forms (except the Excused Absence) must be submitted no later than Thursday prior to Saturday's session by 6:00 PM EST so Attendance Coordinators can update check-in devices.
PROJECT DELTAA READ-INS
Supports elementary students in the Columbus area by enhancing reading skills through monthly read-aloud sessions in schools. Additionally, students receive a book and a snack to encourage early literacy and a love of reading. DELTAA stands for Deltas Enriching Lives Through Academic Achievement.
RISK MANAGEMENT
If you would like to volunteer with our youth initiatives, you must be Risk Management trained and complete a background screening. To apply to volunteer, please email the Risk Management Committee.
