Youth and Peer Outreach Workers. For purposes of this agreement, the term “youth” applies to persons under the age of 18. All programs, including subcontractors, using youth (either paid or volunteer) in program activities will use caution and judgment in the venues / situations where youth workers are placed. Agencies will give careful consideration to the age appropriateness of the activity or venue; will ensure that youth comply with all relevant laws and regulations regarding entrance into adult establishments and environments; and will implement appropriate safety protocols that include clear explanation of the appropriate laws and curfews and clearly delineate safe and appropriate participation of youth in program outreach activities.
