ADVISOR REQUIREMENTS
The following chaperone policies are implemented to ensure student safety:
At least one advisor present per each school group
An advisor/student ratio no higher than 1 advisor for every 30 students
Advisors do not necessarily need to be teachers; in the past, advisors have included parents or other staff members from a school.
INDEPENDENT Student Attendees
We warmly welcome independent student attendees (attendees not affiliated with a single school group) at SDG Youth Summit. Independent attendee groups have a minimum size of one and must be accompanied by an advisor (who can be a parent, faculty advisor, teacher, or other trusted guardian). Independent attendees can register for the SDG Youth Summit using the same registration form.
