Many of you may remember that at one point we had a FAQ regarding the
Youth Protection Program and Certified Adult Volunteer Training.
Those questions and answers were mainly concerned with the
implementation process. In most cases that process is either
completed, or moving towards completion, so most of those questions are
no longer relevant. However as you may know, the YPP Program and
CAV Training is an ongoing process and many new questions have arisen.
As such, the Board of Trustees has developed a new set of Frequently
Asked Questions and they are posted below. Before you ask, check
out the FAQ. You may find your answer.
| Q: |
May a non-CAV be asked to take minutes,
assist the Guardian Secretary, prompt from the Ritual or protem for a missing BGC member during a Bethel meeting |
| A: |
No. All leader and authority figures must
be CAVs. The JDI standard is leadership and adults performing
leadership duties, even temporarily, are held to that standard. |
| |
|
| Q: |
If I am a non-CAV can I assist at an
activity like a leadership camp |
| A: |
Yes so long as that assistance is not
serving in any type of leadership or authority capacity. For
example, helping put packets together is fine but being in
charge of registration or running the registration desk is not
allowed unless you are a CAV. |
| |
|
| Q: |
I forgot to renew my CAV on time and I am
currently on a Bethel Guardian Council, is it ok to just keep
that BGC position while I wait to get into another CAV class |
| A: |
No. All leadership/authority positions
must maintain continual CAV status. If you no longer have a
valid CAV card you may no longer be on the BGC or serve in a
leadership or authority position within JDI. You can
potentially be re-appointed once your CAV is current again. |
| |
|
| Q: |
I forgot to renew my CAV and I am on a GGC
committee. Can I go ahead and keep doing my committee work,
like send emails for fundraising, while I wait to get into
another CAV class |
| A: |
No you cannot continue any committee work
unless you are a CAV. You can potentially be re-appointed once
your CAV is current again. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Does someone who comes and plays the piano
for our Bethel meetings, for example an Eastern Star member,
have to be a CAV |
| A: |
Yes. This function is currently viewed as
a leadership role within JDI. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Can a non-CAV still participate as a
competition judge |
| A: |
Yes they may be a judge so long as they are
never alone with any Daughters or counted as a Chaperone.
However, it would not be appropriate for a non-CAV to be
a.Robe judge for something like a Ritual competition.
Additionally, it would not be appropriate for any judge to
touch a Daughter. Finally, there needs to be a CAV in each
competition room. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Does a Coach have to be a CAV |
| A: |
Not necessarily. A coach on a one time
basis does not have to be a CAV as long as they are never alone
with any Daughter or counted as a Chaperone. An example of a
‘one time’ coach might be ‘vocal coach’ from a local school to
help the Daughters prepare for a choir competition. A
coach on a long term or continuing basis must be a CAV. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Does a Majority Member have to be a CAV to
assist as a Messenger during a Bethel Initiation |
| A: |
Yes. A Majority Member is an adult and the
practice of an adult proteming during a Bethel meeting is deemed
as a leadership function. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Do Installing Officers need to be CAVs |
| A: |
No. An Installing Officer is not viewed as
a leadership position. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Can a non-CAV assist during a Bethel
fundraiser. |
| A: |
Yes so long as they are not in charge or
leading that Bethel fundraiser or acting as a Chaperone other
than to their own family member. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Do all Chaperones have to be CAVs |
| A: |
Yes except in the case of Chaperoning only
their own family member. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Can a non-CAV be a Chaperone if they are
given permission from a Daughters parent/legal guardian |
| A: |
No. All JDI Chaperones must be CAVs unless
they are Chaperoning only their own family member. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Is a Bethel
allowed to serve at a dinner where there will be alcohol |
| A: |
Yes
under the following conditions:
-
-
- |
The Daughters are not allowed to
touch any container with alcohol
The Daughters are not allowed to clear away
containers that contained alcohol
No Chaperone or Daughter may consume alcohol |
|
| |
|
| Q: |
Can our jurisdiction organize a trip to the
baseball game and still allow the adults attending with us to
consume alcohol |
| A: |
A CAV may not consume alcohol at a Job’s
Daughters function with Daughters present. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Does a Daughter who is 18 have to become a
CAV to remain in Job’s Daughters. |
| A: |
No. Job’s Daughters law recognizes the age
of 20 as the transition to being an adult. |
| |
|
| Q: |
If a Daughter turns 20 in the middle of the
term must she be a CAV in order to finish that term |
| A: |
A Daughter who turns 20 during a term is
privileged to finish the term as a Daughter. However, once that
term has ended she may no longer protem or act in a leadership
or authority capacity until she is a CAV. |
| |
|
| Q: |
How soon before my 20th birthday
may I become a CAV |
| A: |
It is recommended that a Daughter become a
CAV no earlier than 6 months prior to becoming a MM so that she
does not cut her time short as a Daughter. Once a Daughter
becomes a CAV she must function as an adult under the JDI Youth
Protection Policy. For example, in regard to accommodations,
she may no longer room with any Daughters without parental
permission from those Daughters’ parents/legal guardians. |
