Are background checks required for adults 18+?

To ensure the safety and security of all participants, we require that individuals aged 18 and over submit a cleared background check when registering for the National Youth Conference. This background check should be completed and submitted through a reputable organization or business of your choice. While last year we used TransUnion's services (accessible at https://hires.shareable.com), you are free to utilize any organization that provides comprehensive background checks. Please ensure that the background check is current and includes relevant information to expedite the registration process and ensure your eligibility to attend the conference.

Medical Assistance

Although we will have an NYC Medical Team on-hand, in case of emergency situations, Youth Workers are asked to take care of any minor issues with your group. To equip Youth Workers with doing so, each group is asked to bring a small or travel sized first aid kit with them. Youth Workers are asked to check with parents prior to the conference, to ensure you have a grasp on any medications your young people may be taking on a regular basis.
