PROGRAM SUPPORT POLICY
Our goal is to provide a variety of programs that can be enjoyed by everyone in a safe and fun environment. All recreation & leisure programs sponsored by SARAH Inc. will be facilitated by a staff or leader who is certified in First Aid & CPR. Our programs are also supported by an appropriate number of volunteers. Volunteers are not required to receive any special medical or behavioral training. However, all volunteers do receive a thorough screening and orientation and are placed according to interest, availability and skills. Volunteers receive on the job training on how to communicate with service participants (SP) and how to assist the leader during programs.
In order to ensure a successful and positive experience for all participants a 1:1 chaperone may be warranted for some SP’s, for some activities.
PROGRAM CANCELLATION POLICY
1. SARAH reserves the right to cancel any program due to low enrollment. Please register by the due date.
2. One week prior to start for each program, a definite decision will be made to cancel or run the program, based on enrollment.
A full refund will automatically be given for any program cancelled by this department.
4. Programs may be cancelled the day of an event due to inclement weather.
REFUND POLICY Programs are self-supporting and commitments need to be made in advance to instructors, volunteers, staff, and other service participants.
1. Full refunds, minus a $5.00 processing fee, will be given when requested up to (1) week prior to the start of a program.
2. Refunds will not be given for cancellations within one week of the program start date, unless a substitute can be found by this department.
3. Absolutely no refunds will be given for any unused portion of a program.
CALL BACK POLICY
For all programs that have a “limit” in the number of service participants that can attend, staff will call to confirm or “wait list” each person who registers. If you do NOT receive a call after the RSVP date, please contact the office to inquire the registration status for that program.
“WAIT LIST” POLICY
Participants who have been placed on the “wait list” for a program will receive first consideration on the next similar event (as long as the registration form and payment arrive by the RSVP date).
