RISK MANAGEMENT

WELCOME TO LOUISVILLE ALUMNAE CHAPTER RISK MANAGEMENT FOR VOLUNTEERS

WHO IS A VOLUNTEER?
In Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (Delta Sigma Theta or Delta), any individual participating in Delta’s youth initiatives is defined as a volunteer.  This applies to members of Delta Sigma Theta and non-members (i.e. Deltas and non-Deltas)
Delta Sigma Theta has three national youth enrichment programs designed to promote the development of young girls and boys. These include, but are not limited to, Delta GEMS, Delta Academy and EMBODI (collectively “youth initiatives”).
 
Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy
Youth program for young women ages 11-14 which focuses on social and emotional development, physiological transitioning, exposure to global ideas and learning opportunities.
 
Dr. Jeanne L. Noble G.E.M.S. (Growing & Empowering Myself Successfully) Institute
Youth program for young women ages 14-18 which focuses on promoting high levels of academic success, assisting young women in proper goal setting, developing compassionate, caring, community-minded women, emphasizing decision-making and planning for the high school years and beyond.
 
EMBODI (Empowering Males to Build Opportunities for Developing Independence)
Youth program for African American males ages 13-17 which is designed to address issues related to STEM education, culture, self-efficiency, leadership, physical and mental health, healthy lifestyle choices, character ethics, relationships, college readiness, fiscal management, civic engagement and service learning.

What are the requirements for becoming a Volunteer?
  1. ​Must be 18 years of age or older
  2. Complete the application process
  3. Pass a criminal background check
  4. Complete risk management volunteer training
  5. Sign and abide by the youth initiative code of ethics
  6. Recognize signs and symptoms of child abuse/neglect
  7. Abide by Delta’s mandatory reporting policy
 
Risk Management is the process of assessing risk and acting in such a manner, or prescribing policies and procedures, to minimize loss associated with such risk.
 
Risk Management is important because it protects our organization, ensures the safety of all participants in our youth programs, evaluates allocation of resources, focuses on the enrichment of our youth participants, and focuses on prevention.
