“We’re Parents Too”

NSPA was created by parents, and parents remain actively involved in day-to-day operations. The safety of children (ours and yours) is our top priority, which is why we enthusiastically adopted the United Methodist Church’s “Safe Sanctuary” policy for all NSPA-sponsored activities.  A summary of the policy is provided below:
​
  • All adults should be background checked and trained in Safe Sanctuaries procedures around child abuse prevention.
  • A minimum of two non-related adults will supervise each group of youth. 
  • All adults should be at least 18 years of age and at least 5 years older than the youth being supervised.
  • At least one adult at the event should be certified in CPR and First Aid and prepared to provide medical care within the scope of their certification.
  • Youth should be checked into and out of the event.
​
In addition, all board members and teenage counselors over 16 years of age shall be trained in “Steward of Children” training provided by the Memphis Child Advocacy Center.

COVID-19 Rehearsal Guidlines

  • Temperatures will be taken at the door with a no-touch thermometer before every rehearsal.
