Yes, all chaperones receive the same benefits as the youth participants.

Registration fees are non-refundable.  However, substitutions may be made.  If the youth day is canceled, participant may be refunded their full or partial registration.

The Key Leader can make substitutions at any time by modifying their group registration.

• Collect a digital permission slip and liability form for the person you wish to add.
• Login to your group registration
• Remove the group member that is no longer attending.

Please note that Chaperone Modifications cannot be made after February 28, 2025. Key Leaders are responsible for verifying all chaperones are current on their safe environment training.

CYAD check-in will begin at 9:30 a.m.  Only Parish/school contacts need to come to the registration table to receive the materials for their parish group. For those who have turned in their paperwork and are not making substitutions, registration is quick.  Please make sure that you do not arrive earlier than the set time.  This will allow our team to complete set-up and rehearsals.

All youth and adult forms will collect using a digital form.

• After completing a group registration, the Key Leader will receive an email with detailed instructions, including a link to share with parents/chaperones.
• When a new form is submitted the key leader will receive a notification email with a link to access/download a copy of the completed Permission Slip and Liability form, the participant and parent will also receive a confirmation email.
• Save this for your records so that you can print a copy to have on hand when you travel to and from Catholic Youth of African Descent Youth Day.

When you receive a new form, you should immediately download a copy for your records. The CYAD Team will also receive a digital copy and will have access to them during the event.

It is highly recommended that you print several copies of these forms, one set to leave at the parish and one set to have with the key leader throughout the event.

Additionally, if you are arranging group travel (Bus or carpool) a copy of each from should be with the driver/designated leader in each vehicle.

The most likely cause of this is that one of the required emails was not entered correctly (misspelled or in the wrong format).

This does not mean that the form was not received, just that the automated flow sending the email was not triggered.

Email the CYAD team to see if the form was completed. Please provide the following information:

• Key Leader Name
• Parish Name
• Participant Name
• Date the form was submitted
