What are the social distancing guidelines?

All in-person BBYO events taking place during our first phase of return to programming will be limited to 10 teens and one adult and observe the following guidelines:

• All teen participants and their parent/guardian must sign our COVID-19 Waiver before they will be permitted to attend (please see below for more information).

• As of August 25, 2020, ONLY chapter and regional board, chair, or committee members are permitted to meet in person at this time. More guidance for chapter members and prospects will follow.

• Events will be held at outdoor locations (weather permitting) that can meet social distancing standards. 

• Masks must be worn inside, and determinations for ourdoor programs will be based on local guidance.

• Everyone present must remain at least six feet apart. 

• Individuals should bring their own supplies/equipment (mask, hand sanitizer, computer, pen/paper, agenda, etc.) as well as their own snacks. 

• Temperature checks will be taken at all indoor gatherings. 

• PPE equipment (including hand sanitizer) and cleaning supplies will be on hand at all events.  

• Teens, families, advisors and staff will be asked daily screening questions sent out by each state at every event by staff and/or advisors. These questions will be asked by a google form sent out prior to the event. 

How will I know if I'll my chapter will be in-person or virtual?

Regional staff will send out information for each chapter prior to the weekend to give details about where and when people will be meeting virtually or in-person.

Do I have to be in-person?

No, it's an option to have small groups meet from chapter and regional boards at this time; however, its not mandatory. For all events this year, we will have an option to always join virtually. We want to be respectful of everyone's comfort level around gathering in-person.
