* Please note that this is the CAV RENEWAL for
and not the CAV Application Form. The Application Forms are
obtained at a training class only. When it is time to renew,
please remember to do so about 30-60 days before the expiration date
on your CAV Card to ensure your uninterrupted status as a Certified
Adult Volunteer. The files in this section are in acrobat format (pdf).
You will need the latest version of Acrobat Reader or the full
Acrobat Program to view them properly (if you have an older version,
you will get an error message when you try to open a file). If you need

YPP Frequently Asked
Questions |
| Q: |
Can I view the program? |
|
A: |
The JDI Youth
Protection Program and Policy document is viewable by
Clicking Here.
This is the revised document posted 1/8/2009. |
|
Q: |
How much will this cost? |
|
A: |
The Certified
Adult Volunteer (CAV) Application fee is $44.00 and includes the
cost of the Background Investigation. Thereafter, the annual
CAV renewal fee is $18.00 |
|
Q: |
When can I be trained as a CAV? |
|
A: |
Every Jurisdiction either has or will be contacted shortly to develop their
own Implementation Schedule. The Kickoff Dates and Compliance Dates
will be listed in the table at the bottom of this page. Please
remember that this schedule is in the early stages of development and will
be updated frequently as new dates are added. |
|
Q: |
What does the CAV training involve? |
|
A: |
The training runs about 6 hours (sometimes
more, depending on the number of questions asked from the
trainees). The training is divided into 3 major sections:
|
First Section, Basic Training:
As we are reaching out to large numbers of
volunteers for the first time, it is necessary that
we are all on the same page regarding the basic
rules, regulations and practices of the Order.
This can be an enlightening process, even for those
who have been associated with Job's Daughters for
some time.
Second Section,
JDI Youth Protection Policy and Guidelines:
This section will describe how our young people view
their world and will detail how they tend to
interact with their peers and the adults in their
lives. It will also acquaint trainees with the
JDI Youth Protection Policy itself, as well as how
its various sections affect our members and our
adult volunteers.
Third Section, Protecting our
Youth: This section details the major
problems facing our young people. It will help
our adult volunteers to recognize at-risk youth, and
how to respond to various situations that may arise.
Specific ideas and examples will be given on how to
protect our members, including telephone numbers and
websites for Child Protection agencies for JDI
Jurisdictions in the United States.. |
|
| |
|
|
Q: |
How much time will my Jurisdiction be allowed
to reach full compliance? |
|
A: |
The length of time allowed for a Jurisdiction to reach full compliance
depends on the size of that Jurisdiction. This is being arranged with
the leaders of each Jurisdiction. |
|
Q: |
Will the Application Forms be available on
the web? |
|
A: |
In order for us
to have a smooth roll-out of the plan, the CAV Application form will not be
available on the web. However, the CAV Renewal Form is
available on the web. You can obtain it by
Clicking Here. |
|
Additional information updated 3/6/2009 |
|
Q: |
You say that the
JDI Youth Protection Program & Policy Document has been
revised. How so? |
|
A: |
In general there have been some housekeeping
changes in regards to some typos as well as some new wording
made in order to clarify certain procedures. In addition,
the following additions have been adopted by the board:
1.) Once a person is trained, they have 6 months to make an
application to the Supreme Office for their CAV Card. If
they do not make their application within that timeframe, then
they will have to be retrained in order to apply. 2.) A
denied applicant cannot reapply for a period of one year.
If you have further questions regarding these changes, please
direct them to the YPP Implementation Coordinator, Shelly Cole, at
GoJobie@aol.com. |
|
Q: |
If I decide to not go through the CAV process or I am
denied, do I lose my titles and my voting credentials at
the Grand or Supreme level?
|
|
A: |
No. All previous
titles and voting credentials are still in tact. Your
eligibility to vote at the Grand or Supreme level does not
depend on your CAV status. |
|
Q: |
If I am not a CAV can
I still attend Bethel meetings and functions? |
|
A: |
Yes. You can still
attend meetings and functions, however, you would be ineligible
to chaperone or drive any Daughter not related to you.
Additionally, you would not be able to act in any type of
leadership position such as a council or committee member or
protem these positions. |
|
Q: |
If I have a security
clearance from the government or a background investigation
from school, work, DeMolay or other youth group, can I just use
that instead and skip the JDI process? |
|
A: |
No. Each
organization or entity has their own standards and training.
Additionally, the US government views the sharing of this
information by these entities as a violation of privacy. To be
a CAV of JDI you must go through the entire process. Plus,
there is a great deal of information provided in the CAV
Training that is JDI specific and could not be obtained through
any other training. |
|
Q: |
How will my personal
information be secured? |
|
A: |
Only bonded employees
in the JDI Supreme Office handle personal information.
Information such as your Social Security Number are not kept
in the JDI database or made available to anyone else in Job's
Daughters. When undergoing the background investigation portion
of the process, your information is securely transmitted to the
background investigation company. The background investigation
company is licensed and bonded. |
|
Q: |
Does the Background Check involve a Credit Check as well? |
|
A: |
No, JDI does not, and has never done, any sort of a Credit
Check. |
To ensure accurate information, all questions regarding the JDI Youth
Protection Program should be directed to the YPP Implementation Coordinator, Shelly Cole, at
GoJobie@aol.com.

Frequently Asked
Questions about becoming a Certified Adult Volunteer Trainer
|
|
Q: |
What is a Certified Adult Volunteer Trainer? |
|
A: |
A Certified Adult Volunteer Trainer (CAVT)
is an officially recognized trainer for the JDI Youth
Protection Program and has been issued and instructed on the
officially recognized training materials. |
|
Q: |
What is the role of a CAVT? |
|
A: |
The role of a CAVT is to train Certified
Adult Volunteer (CAV) applicants according to JDI standards
and certify that they have been fully briefed on the JDI
Youth Protection Policies and Guidelines. |
|
Q: |
Can anybody be a CAVT? |
|
A: |
Only a Certified Adult Volunteer (CAV) may
apply to be a trainer. |
|
Q: |
What are some other qualifications that a
CAVT must have? |
|
A: |
A CAVT must be comfortable speaking about
difficult topics in front of strangers. They must have some
background experience or knowledge of working with
adolescents. They must be able to answer questions from
trainees about JDI structure and the JDI Youth Protection
Program, as well as issues around abuse, neglect, mental
health, alcohol, drugs and internet safety. While we have
information about all these issues in our training manual
and can train a CAVT on all these things, questions will
arise from the trainees that you need to be comfortable
answering. Having been a member of Job’s Daughters, in and
of itself doesn’t qualify someone to be a CAVT. It doesn’t
mean they are excluded of course, it just means an applicant
needs to consider what other qualifications and/or
experiences they have that enrich that wonderful life
experience. This is why on our CAVT Application form we ask
questions about education background, work experiences, etc.
|
|
Q: |
What is the process for becoming a CAVT? |
|
A: |
-
Application must be made
using the CAVT Application Form YPP 003.
-
Interviews will be
conducted by the Executive Manager of JDI and at least
one other CAVT.
-
Attendance at a CAVT
Training Class.
-
Monitoring of an Adult
Volunteer Training Class conducted by another CAVT.
-
Conducting an Adult
Volunteer Training Class with an assigned CAVT monitor
in attendance.
-
A CAVT card will be
issued by the Executive Manager upon successful
completion of this process.
|
|
Q: |
How long does someone's CAVT Status last? |
|
A: |
A CAVT must maintain continual CAV status as
well as re-certify/renew their CAVT status every five years.
Additionally, they must conduct a minimum of five trainings
during those five years. Finally, the JDI Board of Trustees
reserves the right to revoke a CAVT’s training credentials. |
|
Q: |
Does a CAVT schedule Training Sessions? |
|
A: |
No. All Adult Volunteer Trainings are
scheduled through designated YPP coordinators. |
|
Q: |
Who are the YPP Coordinators? |
|
A: |
As of now, YPP Implementation Coordinator
Shelly Cole would be the one to schedule all training
sessions. In time, regional coordinators will be added
and they will be listed as they are appointed. Shelly
Cole may be contacted at
GoJobie@aol.com. |
