Learn and Serve America's National Service-Learning Clearinghouse

The Season of Hope addresses an array of questions from youth-serving organizations about protecting children in a nonprofit's charge from harm, whether they are program participants, employees or volunteers. Learn which risks are inherent in programs due to the developmental stage (infancy through adolescence) of the participants. This book helps build plans from examples of risk management strategies for violence, health, injuries and accidents, and Internet access. Its broad focus approach speaks to youth development professionals, executive directors, board members, directors of volunteers and human resource managers.
