Krejames,
I am a Certified Adult Volunteer. I work with young ladies from the ages of 10 to 20. We go through annual training. One of the points that is covered is when and where is it appropriate for the girls to change clothing. They may not change clothing if an adult (that is anyone who has each the age of 21) is in the room. A female adult may not help them with their clothing in anyway unless they specifically request assistance and only then another female adult must be in the room.
Also, here is where those who come from WT society will have a hard time grasping these rules. Each age group of girls is advised as to how to act in the presence of the younger girls. When girls reach 12 we remind them not talk about certain things in front of the 10 year olds and so forth up the line. This is very important when you are dealing with a large age range. Age appropriate comes in to play all the time and we must be very sensitive to this with each age group.
These girls are learning public speaking skills, how to run a business meeting, how to organize and completely run a charity event, attend many formal dinners and dances, organize fun events and all the while they have adults in the background for support but we are there as advisors only not to do the work for them. By the time they reach 20 we hopefully have produced some very fine young ladies who will be entering the business world that can take command of any situation and very definitely hold her own. I have seen girls as young as 16 and 17 take the podium and run a meeting and put a lot of adults to shame.
We also have a group that works just with boys. They have all the same standards and goals as the girls.
I guess we just have a little higher moral and ethical standards.
This is why we see a bruise in the wrong spot on a child or a woman we ask no questions we just dial 911.
