As volunteers of a youth-serving organization, it is our responsibility to be properly trained and equipped to provide a safe environment for the girls we serve. AHG Adult Members are the gatekeeper and play the most important safety role by holding the sacred keys to the hearts and minds of the children of God. Therefore, AHG volunteers are registered Adult Members, which includes a criminal background check (CBC) and are required to complete AHG’s KEYS to Child Safety Training.

In addition, as a ministry of Christ Covenant Church, all AHG adult members receive a thorough background check including references, driving records, and criminal background checks. The application and forms will be sent to all new adult members when they volunteer for a registered position.

AHG volunteers wear a Member ID badge and lanyard so they are easily identifiable as Adult Members. In addition, two-deep leadership and appropriate girl/adult ratios are always maintained when girls and adults are present together at a Troop/Unit activity, meeting or event.
