KentuckyWMU takes the safety of its event participants, especially those under 18, seriously.  Every KentuckyWMU Volunteer will have background checks on behalf of KetuckyWMU.  All church chaperones are required to provide written proof of background check prior to event admittance.  Those with no written proof, will not be able to participate.  

Church chaperones can find the attestation form HERE.

Girls and boys who have completed grades 1-6 and their church leaders/ parents may attend. 

Leaders must be 21 years of age or older and a member of the sending church. 

Church leaders must:

• · Be 21 years of age or older
• · Pass a background check conducted by the sponsoring church
• · Be a member of the sponsoring church
• · Be a non-smoker
• · Set a good example for kids in speech, conduct, and dress

Church chaperones are expected to supervise their church kids. One male chaperone is needed for every 1-7 children

Phase 2: Inputting Information

1. Under, create an account and answer event-specific questions, choose either "I'm attending" if you purchased the spot for yourself AND others or "Reassign my ticket" if you purchased the spot on someone else's behalf. Note: If you are ONLY purchasing on someone else's behalf and ARE NOT attending the event, SKIP to step 4.
2. Enter email and click "Submit" (It will ask you to certify that you are 13 years of age or older. This just means that the person completing the form is 13 or over, not the age of the participant.)

4. Assign Additional tickets. Assign your extra tickets by clicking the "Assign" button on each ticket on your screen and entering the corresponding name and email address of the intended recipient(s).

When registering, the system will prompt you to certify that you are 13 years of age or older. This just means that the person completing the form is 13 or over, not the age of the participant.
