2. Volunteer Mentor Responsibilities

  • Bring your license!
  • Once you are assigned to a child, you are responsible for that child during the entire event. It is vital that you maintain very close contact with your child and DO NOT let your child go into the water without you. MOST of the children CANNOT swim.
  • Make sure that both you and your child wear our red T-Shirts at all times for identification purposes, both in and out of the water.
  • Make sure you and your child have matching wristband colors. These identify the organization, shelter or school with which the child is associated.
  • If your child is wearing a black wristband, take caution that your child NOT be photographed. These children are in hiding. Please make every effort to keep them away from pictures as it could endanger them and their family.
  • Stay within a block of our base camp. We will set up near a restroom so there should not be a need to wander far from the group.
  • Bring a beach towel as a GIFT for your child. Also, bring a large blanket to be used as your "base camp".
  • Focus all of your attention on ensuring your child has a wonderful and safe day!
