Positive Climate Philosophy & Procedures

As a youth development agency, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota focuses on reward and reinforcement of positive behavior.

If your child is involved in a conflict or unsafe situation with another member or staff, or has violated Boys & Girls Club rules, they will be approached in the following progressive manner:

Expectations, Rules and Consequences
- Staff will teach expectations, rules and consequences for behavior and post these in their program areas.

Verbal redirection / coaching:
- Staff will use verbal redirection with youth when needed.
- Staff will use proactive language when dealing with youth exhibiting unacceptable behavior.

Take A Break Space
- Youth may be asked to apologize or take a break from an area or activity. Examples of language used may include “let’s take a break” or “how about we take some time to cool off.
- In the “take a break” space, youth will have intentional time to reflect on what they did and how they may do things differently next time.
- In the “take a break” space, youth will have other calming tools that they can use to help regulate their emotions before returning back to the group.

Meeting with a Site Manager and documentation of the incident.
If the behavior continues or requires more serious intervention, your child will meet with the Site Manager.
They will be asked, “Tell me what happened?” / “What part are you responsible for?”
Members will be given the opportunity to discuss other possible choices and what they would likely choose to do in the future.
The staff will work with the member to create a plan to return to the activity.
The staff will document the intervention and have information available to share with parents/guardians.

A call home and/or short-term suspension:
- If the issue cannot be resolved in a meeting, or if it continues to occur, a call home may be made to discuss the conflict with you.
- At the discretion of the Site Manager, a decision may be made to suspend your child from programming for one to five days, or limit the amount of time your child can be in the program.

A long-term suspension or revocation of membership:
- If continued intervention does not resolve the issue, or the behavior is so severe that it puts your child, other members or staff in danger, the Site Manager, Director of Clubs/KIDSTOP and/or VP of Operations may decide to suspend your child’s membership long-term or revoke their membership until the behavior can be resolved to a degree that it no longer endangers your child, other members or staff.

SUSPENSION / TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP:

The Boys & Girls Club seeks to make our programs a positive experience for your child, including coaching them through behavioral challenges and emotion control. If Club leadership feels that long-term suspension or termination of membership is the best option for your child, they will contact you to set up a meeting. Suspension or termination of membership may be considered for the following non-exhaustive list:

Violent behavior that endangers your child, other members, staff or volunteers.
Unsafe behavior, such as running from program.
Disrespectful behavior.
Continuous vulgar or abusive language that emotionally harms other members, staff or volunteers.
Not complying with rules that exist to keep your child and other members safe.
Bringing a weapon or an item that could be construed as a weapon, or threatening to bring a weapon to the program, or onto Club or school property.
Continuous bullying or cyber-bullying that emotionally or physically hurts other members.
Sexual harassment of other members, staff or volunteers.
Theft or damage of another member’s property, staff property or Club property.
Bringing illegal substances or alcohol into the program.
Attending the program while under the influence of an illegal drug or alcohol.
Any other reason deemed to be emotionally or physically dangerous to your child, other members, staff or volunteers.

After each suspension, your child and you must meet with Club leadership to discuss a re-entry plan to allow the member to attend programming. Developing a behavior plan allows you and your child to be an active participant in the success of your child’s experience.

If your child continues to exhibit the behaviors listed above, despite guidance and coaching from staff, termination of their membership may be sought in order to keep the program a safe and affirming place for all of its members.

If Club leadership feels that termination of membership is the best option for your child, they will schedule a meeting with you and your child to discuss the concern. Club leadership has the final decision-making authority regarding termination of memberships.

National Youth Outcomes Initiative Survey

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota participates in an annual survey that will be used to track the well being of members in Boys & Girls Clubs nationally. Our Club is one of a group of Clubs across the country participating in this survey that asks how members feel about the activities and time they spend in Boys & Girls Club programs, education plans, and involvement in community service and work.

Additionally, the survey asks about the attitudes and health behaviors of members, including questions about nutrition and physical activity. Members will not put their names on the survey. No site or member will ever be mentioned by name in a report of the results.

We would like all members at our sites to take part in the survey, but the survey is voluntary. Survey participants can skip any questions they do not wish to answer.

If you would like to see the survey, a copy is available upon request. Please contact the site manager. You may review the survey during regular hours.

If you do NOT want your child to take part in the survey, we have a form for you to sign. The form is available from your site manager.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota at (320) 252-7616.

OJDDP Mentoring Consent

Your child may participate in the OJJDP Mentoring Program at the Boys & Girls Club. This is a program adapted to each youth to help them set goals for their development and pairs them with a positive adult or peer mentor to help them achieve these goals. As a key component a part of this program, your child will be matched with a mentor, one-with-one and/or small group, who is either a staff member at the Boys & Girls Club, an older Club member (peer mentor) or community volunteer mentor who has been specifically selected and will be screened (including a criminal background check) and trained before beginning in the program. While this program is sponsored by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, your child’s selection may be for a variety of reasons. Boys & Girls Clubs believe that mentors are valuable to all youth and that learning how to identify a mentor and engage in positive mentoring relationships will benefit youth in their future.

Your child will participate in an orientation session at the Club, during which the program specifics and expectations of the mentoring program will be explained. The mentoring program is planned to last one year, and continuation beyond one year may be considered. The mentor will be expected to spend at least one hour per week with the child in an individual or group mentoring setting on-site at the Boys & Girls Club. It is essential to understand that your child’s mentor cannot meet or communicate with your child anywhere other than at the Boys & Girls Club.

During the course of the mentoring program, there may be special group events (incorporating mentors and youth) and/or family events planned. You will be notified in advance about these activities, and we encourage you to join any special activities or plan a visit to meet your child’s mentor at your convenience.

As a part of this program, the Boys & Girls Club will measure the impact of mentoring on your child’s social, emotional, or academic life. These measurements may include pre- and post-program assessments conducted by Club staff administering the mentoring program, school academic and attendance records, or general observations by Club staff and/or mentors. As Personally Identifiable Information, the results of these assessments will be maintained safely at the Club and available to you upon request. We greatly appreciate, and welcome, any feedback you have on the program’s outcomes or possible areas of improvement.

Occasionally, this program shares photos and stories with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention at the U.S. Department of Justice (which funds the program) to show positive outcomes and best practices in mentoring. If you have signed a photo release as part of your child’s application to the Boys & Girls Club, that release will serve to give permission for photos of your child to be used in the manner described previously without claim to any compensation. If you have not signed a photo release for your child through the Club’s membership form, you will be contacted directly for permission if a photo of your child is selected to share with the entities described above.

Please talk to your site manager if you choose to opt out of this mentoring program.

Please agree to the above by entering your name and relationship to the new member(s).
