Youth Participation: Information for Youth, Their Parents, and Adults Serving as Chaperones
A primary goal of this Forum is fostering youth adult partnerships. The program has been designed for all youth and adult participants to be actively engaged together in all Forum events.
All youth participants must identify their adult chaperone when they register. Chaperones must be at least 21 years of age. The Forum requires a minimum of 1 chaperone per 10 youth participants, and encourages an even lower youth-adult chaperone ratio, if possible. Youth participants and chaperones need to be in contact throughout the Forum.
Required Forms for Youth Participation are located on the Registration page. These include the Medical Consent/Health Form and the Expectations Form. This link will take you to the Registration page.
