The Hows & Wheres

  • Highlighted Club Staff Responsibilities:

    • Execute engaging clubs that align with the mission/vision of Rising TIDE.

    • Clubs will typically be planned by the Executive Director and those who are part of a planning team. If you are invited to plan a club independent of the planning team, you are responsible for planning, getting your plans pre-approved, and preparing materials and anything you might need for your club (request supplies two weeks prior to need).

    • When leading a club, follow club plan or outline for each session.

    • Maintain a professional demeanor over Google Meet and in-person.

    • Utilize the virtual environment (for virtual classes) by staying on camera and recording your sessions.

      • Sanitize frequently touched surfaces (ex: door knobs/handles, tables, seats, etc.).

      • Detail assigned areas.

      • Leave areas cleaner than when you found them.

Food Consumption

  • Staff are not permitted to eat meals when children are present, but they may enjoy a light snack.

  • Where may students and staff eat?

    • Food may be eaten in the Fellowship Hall, the Courtyard, and a limited area in the Fireside Room.

    • Please note:

      • One half of the Yellow Room is designated a “No Food” area.

      • Food may only be consumed beyond these areas if it is part of the class activity. If this occurs, detailed cleaning is needed to make sure no crumbs or scraps are left.

 Best Practices

  • No outside food may be consumed by staff in front of young people unless staff has yet to start their shift or is on their break in the Fireside Room or other special designated areas.

  • Staff may not order outside drinks for delivery in front of young people, unless purchasing for them as well.

  • Outside drinks may be consumed on the premises and during work hours.
